2016 RBC Canadian Open Prize Money Breakdown
The Total Payout
There is money to be made north of the border. The RBC Canadian Open boasts a total purse of $5.9 million, with a hefty $1.062 million of that prize going to the eventual winner. That’s excellent news for the field considering the total payout last year amounted to only $5.8 million.To put into perspective the difference in prize money, defending champion Jason Day (+450) earned $1.044 million in this golf event last year. That’s $18,000 less than the amount the Canadian Open champion will receive this year. Finishing second in this tournament ain’t bad either with the runner-up receiving a cash payout of $637,200. On the other end of the table, the 70th or so golfer to make the cut this week will earn around $11,800.
