The second men's Major is right around the corner and the run of huge prize money payouts on offer to pro golfers in the US shows no signs of slowing down.
The Truist Championship was the third Signature Event in four weeks on the PGA Tour, slotting neatly between The Masters and the PGA Championship at Aronimink.
And it's a stretch of golf that can take career earnings to stratospheric levels with no less than $20 million on offer at all but one of the five PGA Tour events, starting with The Masters.
The PGA Championship offered $19 million last year, but there is good reason to believe it will reach the $20 million mark this time around, and that's the total that was on offer at the Truist Championship.
After a tight final round at Quail Hollow, Kristoffer Reitain held off Rickie Fowler and Nicolai Hojgaard by becoming the second Norwegian after Viktor Hovland to win on the PGA Tour.
Rickie Fowler placed tied for second
The win handed Reitan $3.6m in prize money, before factors like taxes, bonuses and owed cuts ultimately tweak how much a pro golfer really earns. Fowler and Hojgaard won $1.78m apiece.
Reitan also won 700 FedEx Cup points and 60 Official World Golf Ranking points.
Below is what each player won at the Truist Championship.
