Rory McIlroy's prize money from the PGA Championship was revealed following his seventh placed finish at Oak Hill.
Overall, the County Down native walked away with $555,000 whilst tournament winner Brooks Koepka took home $3,150,000.
McIlroy claimed his top-10 finish at the US PGA Championship was successful because he had lower expectations.

Before the game at Oak Hill began, McIlroy cut a somber figure as a result of his disheartening missed cut at the Masters, where his most recent attempt to complete a career grand slam was cut short.
Despite feeling unwell and having trouble with his long game, the 34-year-old finished two under par, seven shots behind winner Koepka.
“I’ll look back on this week as proud of how I hung in there and I guess (proud of) my attitude and sticking to it, not having my best stuff,” McIlroy said.
“I guess I just came in here trying to play a golf tournament, honestly not thinking about getting myself in contention. I honestly didn’t feel like I had a chance of winning this week.
“I feel sort of close but also so far away at the same time. It’s hard to explain. I feel like sometimes it was the worst I could have played, but then at the same time it’s like the best I could have done.
“It’s weird. It just doesn’t feel quite where it needs to be and I just need to go back home and work on some stuff. I guess just try to figure it out.”
