The Total Payout – $10.5 million
Justin Thomas won last year’s edition of the PGA Championship and for his feat, he injected his bank account with a cool sum of $1.89 million USD. The same amount has been slated to be picked up by the winner by the end of the weekend at Bellerive Country Club in Town and Country. Here’s how the top 50 finishers in the 2018 PGA Championship will share the $10.5 million total payout.
