$20M Purse On Offer At The 2025 PGA Championship
The second major championship of the year is officially here. It’s time for the 107th PGA Championship as all of the world’s best golfers lock horns in a bid to win the coveted Wanamaker Trophy come Sunday.
The PGA Championship is one of just four majors in the golfing calendar, meaning all of the world’s best are teeing it up this week, looking to join that elusive list of major champions and go down in golf history forever.
The likes of Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele, Bryson DeChambeau and three-time winner Brooks Koepka are just some of the world’s best golfers in action this week at the 2025 PGA Championship.
Last year it was American Xander Schauffele who claimed victory at Valhalla Golf Club, winning his first major in the process after finishing on a score of -21 after 72 holes of major championship golf. He also set a PGA Championship lowest score record with his incredible display 12 months ago.
This year, he aims to go back-to-back and is priced amongst the outright favorites with all golf sportsbooks. It comes as no surprise to learn that world number one Scheffler and recent career Grand Slam winner McIlroy are the two most fancied heading into this week at Quail Hollow.
Unfortunately there will be no Tiger Woods this week at Quail Hollow, with the 15-time major champion still recovering from injury after rupturing his Achilles in March. Other notable omissions include John Daly, Billy Horschel, Matt Kuchar and Louis Oosthuizen.
With this being a major championship and one of the most coveted tournaments in world golf, there is some exceptionally lucrative prize money on offer. The total prize money and purse splits for all 72 players who make the cut at the 2025 PGA Championship is $20m.

Whoever goes on to lift the Wanamaker Trophy come Sunday will be in for a bumper payday and large share of the 2025 PGA Championship prize money pot. The total prize pot has increased by $1.5m, with 2024 purse being $18.5m which was a $1m rise on 2023 where the prize pot was $17.5m.
Whoever clinches victory come Sunday will bank $3,600,000 in prize money, with the runner-up also pocketing seven-figures ($2,160,000). Even the player that finishes in 70th place, the last of the players who makes the cut, will be guaranteed a payday of $37,500. Not bad for four days of work!
As well as lucrative prize money and fruitful purses this week at Quail Hollow, there is also 750 FedEx Cup points on offer for the victor in the season-long PGA Tour event.
