The Total Payout
There is money to be made in La Jolla. The Farmers Insurance Open boasts a total purse of $6.7 million, with a hefty $1.206 million of that prize going to the eventual winner. That’s excellent news for the 156-man field considering the total payout last year amounted to only $6.5 million. To put into perspective the difference in prize money, defending champion Brandt Snedeker (+2,000) earned $1.17 million in cash last year. That’s $36,000 less than the amount the Farmers Insurance champion will receive this year. Finishing second in this event ain’t bad either with the runner-up receiving a payout of $723,600. On the other end of the leaderboard, the 70th or so golfer to make the cut this week will earn around $13,400.
