After the PGA Tour’s final signature event of the year, the Travelers Championship, it’s back to a regular event this week with the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club.
Last year, Rickie Fowler ended a wait of over four years for his sixth PGA Tour title when he beat Adam Hadwin and Collin Morikawa in a playoff to claim the $1.584m first prize, and he returns in 2024 hoping for his first victory since.
There is an even bigger financial incentive this time around thanks to the overall payout increasing from $8.8m to $9.2m. That means this year’s winner will receive a check for $1.656m, while the runner-up is set to earn $1.002m.
Even though the Rocket Mortgage Classic is not one of the more prestigious events on the PGA Tour calendar, its overall purse is still far greater than the next largest in the men’s game this week, the Italian Open on the DP World Tour, which has a payout of $3.25m.
There are also 500 FedEx Cup points available to the winner in Detroit as well as all-important world ranking points.
Below is the prize money payout for the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
