The Total Payout
There is money to be made at TPC Deere Run. The John Deere Classic boasts a total purse of $5.6 million, with a hefty $1.008 million of that pot going to the eventual champion. That’s excellent news for this week’s field considering the total payout last year amounted to only $4.8 million.
To put into perspective the difference in prize money, defending champion Ryan Moore (+2,500) earned $864,000 in this golf event last year. That’s $144,000 less than the amount the John Deere Classic champion will receive this year. Finishing second in this tournament ain’t bad either with the runner-up receiving a cash payout of $604,800. On the other end of the table, the 70th or so golfer to make the cut this week will pocket around $11,200.
