The PGA Tour’s lone stop in Las Vegas, the Shriners Children’s Open, has been a part of the fall schedule for the past several years.

The event began in 1983 and was won by Fuzzy Zoeller. The following year, it had the distinction of being the first PGA Tour event with a purse of more than $1 million.

This event is also known for being Tiger Woods’ first professional win, which took place in 1996 with a playoff victory over Davis Love III.

The purse has grown over the years to a record $8.4 million last year. This year’s event has it settling at $7 million.

Here’s what Poston earned for the win this weekend and what the top finishers’ payouts were.

Chris has worked in sports journalism for nearly 20 years and also loves the game of golf, even though it often doesn't love him back. Year-round golf is a perk of living in Florida, where Chris moved from his native New York shortly after graduating from college. Chris has played some famous courses in the state, including Bay Hill in Orlando and Innisbrook in the Tampa Bay area, and next on his to-do list is the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass to take a crack at the famous island hole.
