PGA Championship Payouts: Here’s How Much Xander Schauffele Made

Xander Schauffele was victorious at Valhalla in a PGA Championship with more than a few talking points.

His first major victory came via a wire-to-wire win after a course record 62 to open on Thursday before posting consecutive rounds in the sixties and a Sunday 65 to get it over the line. Xander put on a phenomenal display, making just two bogeys all week with one double bogey and a whole host of birdies.

1. $3,330,000
2. $1,998,000
3. $1,258,000
4. $888,000

10. $502,040
11. $466,810
12. $433,340
13. $401,630
14. $371,690
15. $343,500
16. $317,080
17. $292,420
18. $269,520
19. $248,380
20. $229,000

Players who missed the cut and turned in a 36-hole score will earn $4,000 each. Any player who made the cut but failed to submit a 72-hole score will also be paid $4,000.

Seven figures for coming third belongs to Norwegian Viktor Hovland, who stormed through after his best week of the season. In second was Bryson DeChambeau, who narrowly missed out on a playoff after posting -20 for the tournament after a Sunday 64. Other notables in the top fifteen were Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Collin Morikawa, who had to wait until the 18^th green to card his first birdie on Sunday.
