The Total Payout
There is money to be made here at Kapalua. The SBS Tournament of Champions boasts a total purse of $6.1 million, with a hefty $1.22 million of that pot going to the eventual champion. That’s excellent news for this week’s 32-man field considering the total payout last year amounted to only $5.9 million.
To put into perspective the difference in prize money, defending champion Jordan Spieth pocketed $1.18 million in cash winnings last year. That’s $40,000 less than the amount the SBS Tournament of Champions winner will receive this year. Finishing second in this tournament ain’t bad either with the runner-up receiving a cash payout of $712,000. All players who start and finish this event will earn a paycheck of at least $60,000 which is really a nice reward by the PGA Tour for all the golfers who won a tournament in 2016.
