The Total Payout

There will be no changes in the prize money payout of the PLAYERS Championship this year with the tournament’s total purse standing pat at $10.5 million. That figure isn’t shabby one bit, though, with the champion bagging a cool $1.89 million this coming weekend. Finishing second in this tournament ain’t bad either with the runner-up receiving a cash payout of $1,134,000. This is one of the few golf events wherein the second place finisher (barring no ties) still gets a seven-figure sum.  On the other end of the table, the 70th or so golfer to make the cut this week will earn around $21,000.
