One week before the PGA Championship at Valhalla comes the latest of the PGA Tour’s signature events, the Wells Fargo Championship.
Because of the elevated status of the Quail Hollow tournament, not only are many of the best players in the world competing the week before the second Major of the year but there is also one of the largest purses of the season on offer.
Like most other signature events, this week’s tournament will have a prize money payout of $20m. The winner will claim a first prize of $3.6m, with $2.25m going to the runner-up.
The event is also a limited-field, no-cut contest, meaning each of the 70 players will receive a payment, with even the player who finishes bottom of the leaderboard receiving $40,000.
The purse is comfortably the largest in the men’s elite game this week with the alternate PGA Tour event taking place this week, the inaugural Myrtle Beach Classic, offering a payout of $4m, with $720,000 going to the winner.
There are also 700 FedEx Cup points available to the winner.
