The Total Payout | $7,400,000

The Zurich Classic golf tournament traces its roots all the way back to 1938 when it was still known as the Crescent City Open. At the time, the purse was only $5,000, with the inaugural winner, Jug McSpaden, taking home $1,200. The first time the purse in this tournament hit the $1 million mark was in 1990. In 2003, Steve Fleschwon in a playoff over Bon Estes and pocketed $900,000 of the $5 million purse. It was only in 2017 when the Zurich Classic became a team event, with the pair of Jonas Blixt and Cameron Smith winning it via playoffs against the duo of Scott Brown and Kevin Kisner.
