The 2025 Championships exist each year as the most important tournament on the PGA Tour schedule, and therefore drive out the biggest wallet for golfers. A total of $25 million will be available on Sunday at TPC Sawgrass along with players who have won the biggest prize slice of the season. Follow the 2025 PGA Championship Live Leaderboard Coverage through Round 4.
The winner’s share is $4.5 million for the second year in a row, making it the highest payment over four major championships from 2024-25. To get that massive check, golfers will have to fight in the bad weather to break into Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida on Sunday. Shaving of the elements forced the PGA tour to move up Sunday Tea Times It also hits the three-man course with split tees on the players.
The Player Championship is neither a major championship nor one of the “signature events” of the PGA Tour, but its wallets are similar to the latter. Each of the top 40 players over the weekend will clear six-man figures in revenue, with the top 13 internal players each cashing at least $500,000. Golfers who finish in the top five will see seven numbers hit their respective bank accounts.
This is the winner of the biggest money event on the PGA Tour so far throughout the 2025 season.
The Sentry: Matsuyama ($3.6 million) Pebble Beach Pro Am: Rory McIlroy ($3.6 million) Genesis Invitational: LudvigÅberg ($4 million) Arnold Palmer Invitation: Russell Henry ($4 million)
