How much does the PGA Championship winner make? 2023 purse, payout breakdown

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The 2023 PGA Championship purse at Oak Hill Country Club is $17.5 million, with the winner taking home $3.15 million and the Wanamaker Trophy. Each of the top three finishers will earn more than a million dollars.

The PGA Championship is one of the most prestigious tournaments on the tour. It’s not among the highest-paying, though. Nearly a dozen PGA Tour events have a purse of more than $20 million.

The 2023 Masters had a total purse of $18 million.
