The Total Payout

There is money to be made in Shanghai. The WGC HSBC Champions boasts a total purse of $9.5 million, with a hefty $1.612 million of that prize going to the eventual champion. That’s outstanding news for the exclusive field considering the total payout last year amounted to only $8.5 million.

To put into perspective the difference in prize money, defending champion Russell Knox earned $1.4 million in this tournament last year. That’s $212,432 less than the amount the champion will receive this year. Finishing second in this event ain’t bad either with the runner-up receiving a cash payout of $1.018 million. This is one of the few golf events in the PGA Tour wherein the second place finisher (barring no ties) still gets a seven-figure sum.
