The Total Payout | $11 million

There will be no jump in the amount of the total purse at the PGA Championship for the fourth year in a row. The last time this tournament got a bump was in 2017, when the prize for the winner went from $1.8 million a year before to $1.89 million. Nevertheless, this is still a lucrative tournament, not to mention, prestigious. Collin Morikawa is the defending champion of this tourney, having bested the field by a couple of strokes last year at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco, California. With that win, Morikawa prevented a three-peat by Brooks Koepka, who won in each of the previous two stagings of the PGA Championship.
