How Much Did Scottie Scheffler Win At The PGA Championship?
Scottie Scheffler claimed a dominant victory at Quail Hollow and, in the process, secured a record purse at the 2025 PGA Championship


The prize money for the 2025 PGA Championship has been confirmed, with Scottie Scheffler picking up the top paycheck at Quail Hollow.
The figure is $500,000 more than the 2024 event at Valhalla, when $18.5m was available, with Xander Schauffele claiming the first prize of $3.3m when he beat Bryson DeChambeau by one in 2024.
For 2025, Scottie Scheffler endured a tough final round but, in the end, the World No.1 managed to claim a four shot victory and the $3.42 million first prize.

The increased prize money in 2025 continues a trend of bettering the previous year’s total. It meant the tournament was $8 million higher than that of five years ago at TPC Harding Park, when winner Collin Morikawa won $1.98m.
Like the other three Majors, it’s not just the players who complete the tournament who receive payment for their participation.
Everyone who failed to make it to the weekend also receives $4,000, the same amount handed to anyone who made the cut, but fails to finish the tournament.

Taking up the game when he was just seven years of age, Matt made it into his county squad just a year later and continues to play the game at a high standard, with a handicap of around 2-4. To date, his best round came in 2016, where he shot a six-under-par 66 having been seven-under through nine holes. His favorite player is Rory McIlroy, despite nearly being struck by his second shot at the 17th during the 2015 BMW PGA Championship.
