It pays to play well on the PGA Tour, especially at the flagship event. Just ask this week’s winner, Scottie Scheffler.
The 27-year-old won the 2024 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, after an 8-under 64 in the final round to claim his eighth PGA Tour victory at 20 under. For his efforts, Scheffler will take home the top prize of $4.5 million, the biggest prize on Tour.
Brian Harman, Wyndham Clark and Xander Schauffele each missed birdie putts on the 18th green to finish T-2 at 19, one shot out of a playoff. All three will bank $1,981,667.
With $25 million up for grabs, check out how much money each PGA Tour player earned this week at the 2024 Players Championship.
