The 108th PGA Championship has a record purse, thanks to a $1.5 million boost from the PGA of America.
Players are competing for $20.5 million at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. The purse was $19 million a year ago at Quail Hollow.
The Masters also bumped its purse $1.5 million this year to $22.5 million. Rory McIlroy won $4.5 million of that. The PGA champ will collect $3.69 million.
Last year’s U.S. Open paid out $21.5 million and The Open Championship $17 million. They have yet to announce their prize funds for 2026.
Eighty-two players made the cut this week. Those who missed will receive a $4,300 stipend.
