2024 Players Championship Final Payouts, Prize Money, Winnings: Scottie Scheffler Wins $4.5 Million
The 2024 Players Championship is the 50th anniversary of the event, and the PGA Tour set out to make this year’s edition bigger than ever. It's offering the prize money to back it up: a $25 million purse, with $4.5 million to the winner. Those are both records.
Also a first: Scottie Scheffler's back-to-back titles at the Players. The World No. 1 grabbed the Tour's flagship trophy with a sparkling final-round 64 to win by one shot over Brian Harman, Xander Schauffele and Wyndham Clark.
Scheffler also won the Arnold Palmer Invitational last week, a signature event. That's $8.5 million for two weeks of work beating the best on Tour.
Here are the final payouts for the 2024 Players Championship:
