The eighth and final signature event of the PGA Tour season takes place at TPC River Highlands in Connecticut with the Travelers Championship.
In keeping with the other prestigious tournaments this season, players will be teeing it up for the chance to win prize money comparable to the regular events of the PGA Tour’s big-money arrival, LIV Golf.
Unlike the most recent signature event, the Memorial Tournament, there is no cut this week and because of that, the prize money for the winner is less than the $4m handed to Scottie Scheffler for his victory in the Muirfield Village event, even though the overall purse remains the same at $20m. Still, with $3.6m available to the winner, it remains one of the more lucrative tournaments of the year on any circuit.
In fact, it’s not just this week’s winner who will be a seven-figure sum better off by Sunday evening. The runner-up will claim $2.16m, while the player finishing third will boost his bank balance by $1.36m.
Because it’s a no-cut event, no one will leave the tournament without prize money, with even the player finishing bottom of the leaderboard set to earn $38,000.
Below is the prize money payout for the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands.
