The Total Payout

There is money to be made at TPC River Highlands. The Travelers Championship boasts a total purse of $6.8 million, with a hefty $1.224 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 $6.6 million. To put into perspective the difference in winnings, defending champion Russell Knox (+5,000) earned $1.188 million in prize money last year. That’s $36,000 less than the amount the Travelers champion will receive this year. Finishing second in this tournament ain’t bad either with the runner-up receiving a payout of $734,400. On the other end of the leaderboard, the 70th or so golfer to make the cut this week will take home around $13,600.
