Valspar Championship Prize Money Payout 2024

After the excitement of the PGA Tour’s flagship event The Players Championship, which saw Scottie Scheffler become the first golfer in history to successfully defend his title at the event, the last of the circuit’s Florida Swing takes place at the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook.

Last week, Scheffler won $4.5m for his one-shot victory at TPC Sawgrass from an overall purse of $25m, and while there’s not nearly the same earning potential at this week’s event, players are still competing for an attractive prize fund of $8.4m.

That’s an increase of $300,000 on the 2023 tournament, where Taylor Moore edged out Adam Schenk for his maiden PGA Tour win and the $1.458m first prize.

This year, the winner will receive $1.512m, along with 500 FedEx Cup points and a projected 50.3 world ranking points.

The prize money makes it by far the most lucrative in the men’s game this week, too, with the next biggest being the $2.5m on offer at the DP World Tour’s Porsche Singapore Classic, which will see the winner earn $425,000.

Below is the prize money payout for the Valspar Championship.

Who Are The Star Names In The Valspar Championship?

Despite the Valspar Championship having a significantly lower profile than The Players Championship, there are still two of the three players who finished just one shot behind Scheffler at TPC Sawgrass in the field.

Xander Schauffele, who had been the overnight leader heading into the final round, will hope to put the disappointment of narrowly missing out on an eighth PGA Tour win behind him here.

As the highest ranked player in the field, at World No.5, that is something he will likely be confident of achieving. To do so, though, he’ll have two finish ahead of Brian Harman, who, along with Wyndham Clark, also finished runner-up last week.

Other high-profile players appearing include 2011 PGA Champion Keegan Bradley and 2015 Valspar Championship winner Jordan Spieth, who were two of the biggest names to miss the cut at The Players Championship.

Two-time winner of the Valspar Championship Sam Burns also plays, as does Cameron Young, who is still searching for his maiden PGA Tour title.

The likes of WM Phoenix Open victor Nick Taylor, Team Europe Ryder Cup star Sepp Straka, two-time Major winner Justin Thomas and six-time PGA Tour winner Tony Finau add more depth to the field.

Adam Hadwin, who won the tournament in 2017, plays as well, along with current champion Taylor Moore.
