The 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club saw 74 players make it to the weekend, but only one closed Sunday’s final round hosting the 32-pound Wanamaker Trophy, the heaviest major championship hardware coming with the heaviest of expectations. Scottie Scheffler completed the second leg of his career grand slam sojourn winning the PGA Championship in dominant fashion by six strokes over Bryson DeChambeau, Harris English and Davis Riley.

The two-time Masters green jacket holder picked up a major championship victory outside Augusta, Georgia, for the first time in his career, soaring up the leaderboard Saturday and holding his position at the top Sunday in Charlotte. Scheffler has now won five straight tournaments when holding 54 hole leads and converted 10 of 16 such opportunities in his career (62.5%).

On top of raising the massive trophy and cementing his status as a generational golfer with his third major victory, Scheffler secured the biggest piece of the record $19 million purse offered by the PGA of America this week. That total sum is up $500,000 from 2024 and $1.5 million from 2023, showing the PGA of America is continuing to invest in its signature event.

Scheffler, the 2025 PGA champion, will receive $3.42 million with the second- and third-place finishers scheduled to combine for a similar sum. The top 32 on the leaderboard are all receiving six-figure pay days, while everyone that made the cut is guaranteed at least $23,420.

The PGA Championship purse has nearly doubled in size over the last decade as players battled for just under $10 million in prize money back in 2014. Now, this year’s champion is taking home nearly one-third that sum for standing atop the field at Quail Hollow.

Let’s take a look at the full purse and prize money breakdown from the PGA of America.
