CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Prize money continues to creep up in pro golf and Scottie Scheffler hit the jackpot at the PGA Championship.

Scheffler took a three-shot lead into the final round, and although Jon Rahm would at one point tie him early on the back nine, Scheffler pulled away over the closing holes to win his third career major title and first PGA Championship.

The 107th PGA offered a $19 million purse, up from $18.5 million a year ago. While Xander Schauffele took home $3,330,000 last year for his win at Valhalla, Scheffler banked $3,420,000 this week.

Last month’s Masters had a bigger increase to its purse, from $20 million to $21 million with the winner’s share crossing the $4 million mark ($4.2 million to be exact).

Scottie Scheffler mounted a charge Saturday, along with reigning U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau, but Scheffler fended off all challengers on Sunday afternoon, eventually winning by five shots.

Rory McIlroy, last month’s Masters champion who hoped to continue his run, made the cut on the number with a backup driver that did not treat him well. He finished well back and jetted out after four straight days without speaking to the press.

In the end, it was simply Scheffler's week. Here’s a breakdown of the purse for the 2025 PGA Championship. We'll continue to update as things are finalized.
