The Florida Swing segment of the PGA Tour season drew to a close at last week’s Valspar Championship, and now it moves to Texas for the first of two successive events in the state, the Texas Children’s Houston Open, which returns to the schedule after a break in 2023.
Last week’s event saw Peter Malnati claim his first PGA Tour win for nine years and a top prize of $1.512m from an overall purse of $8.4m, but there’s even more on offer this week.
The prize money payout for this week’s event at Memorial Park Golf Course stands at $9.1m, an increase of $700,000 from the most recent time the event was held, in 2022. The winner of this year’s tournament will bank $1.638m, while the runner-up will earn $991,900. Meanwhile, each player who finishes in the top 21 of the field is also in line for a six-figure payday.
The purse is by far the largest in the men’s game this week, with the next biggest event taking place in Asia with the DP World Tour’s Hero Indian Open, where a payout of $2.25m is available.
As ever, there are more than just financial motivations for the players competing at this week’s tournament. A total of 500 FedEx Cup points are also available to the winner.
Below is the full prize money payout for the Texas Children’s Houston Open.
