CASH KINGS

Players Championship 2024 prize money: How much will the winner earn at TPC Sawgrass?

There's a huge incentive for winning the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass

ONE of the most lucrative events in golf, the Players Championship, is finally on our radars.

Golf's biggest supersstars will be battling it out in Florida for its 50th edition, each of them hoping to pick up the historic title.

With the trophy comes a huge cash prize as well, with this event being seen by some as the sport's 'fifth major'.

Scottie Scheffler won it all last year ahead of Tyrell Hatton in second. And both Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods have won it previously.

What is the Players Championship 2024 prize money?

The purse for the Players Championship is an absolutely huge $25million (£19.5m).

With a purse that large, 90 of the 144 players will take home at least $41,250 (£32,000).

The winner of it all, however, will take home a massive $4.5m (£3.5m).

Second place will win $2.7m (£2.1m), third will take home $1.7m (£1.3m) and fourth and fifth place will also have over $1m (£780,000) handed to them.
