The Total Payout
There is money to be made in Palm Harbor. The Valspar Championship boasts a total purse of $6.3 million, with a hefty $1.134 million of that pot going to the eventual winner. That’s excellent news for this week’s field considering the total payout last year amounted to only $6.1 million. To put into perspective the difference in winnings, defending champion Charl Schwartzel (+3,000) earned $1.098 million in prize money last year. That’s $36,000 less than the amount the Valspar champion will receive this year. Finishing second in this tournament ain’t bad either with the runner-up receiving a payout of $680,400. On the other end of the leaderboard, the 70th or so golfer to make the cut this week will take home around $12,600.
