Like all major championships, the prize money for the 2024 PGA Championship has increased significantly over the past few years, and this year it has skyrocketed even further.
Just how much of an increase are we talking about? Quick overview: Just three years ago, in 2021, the prize was set at his $12 million. This was a tournament total record at the time, surpassed only by the U.S. Open. Two years ago, he increased the prize money for the 2022 PGA Championship to $15 million. And last year, the prize money for the 2023 PGA Championship jumped again, reaching a total of $17.5 million. (The Players Championship remains golf’s richest purse, with a total of $25 million.)
This year, the prize pool for the 2024 PGA Championship has increased once again to $18.5 million. To put those numbers into perspective, the eight PGA Tour Signature Events have a total prize pool of $20 million, which is the same amount as the 2024 Masters and 2023 U.S. Open. The total prize money for the 2023 British Open was $16.5 million.
This year’s PGA Champion will earn a total of $3.3 million, which is $150,000 more than 2023 champion Brooks Koepka received. The second place prize is his $1.99 million, and the third place prize is also higher than his seven figures, giving him $1.26 million.
Players who do not qualify will also receive a payout of $4,000 each. So how much did the rest of the players in the field make this year? A complete list of each player’s 2024 PGA Championship payouts can be found below.
