After the excitement of the PGA Tour’s flagship event The Players Championship, which saw Scottie Scheffler become the first golfer in history to successfully defend his title at the event, the last of the circuit’s Florida Swing takes place at the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook.
Last week, Scheffler won $4.5m for his one-shot victory at TPC Sawgrass from an overall purse of $25m, and while there’s not nearly the same earning potential at this week’s event, players are still competing for an attractive prize fund of $8.4m.
That’s an increase of $300,000 on the 2023 tournament, where Taylor Moore edged out Adam Schenk for his maiden PGA Tour win and the $1.458m first prize.

This year, the winner will receive $1.512m, along with 500 FedEx Cup points and a projected 50.3 world ranking points.
The prize money makes it by far the most lucrative in the men’s game this week, too, with the next biggest being the $2.5m on offer at the DP World Tour’s Porsche Singapore Classic, which will see the winner earn $425,000.
Below is the prize money payout for the Valspar Championship.
