The PGA Championship and The Players Championship made history in 2014, becoming the first tournaments to offer $10 million purses. The move gave the PGA Championship an identity as the highest-paying major in golf. The winner of the 2015 PGA Championship will again earn $1.8 million, a figure now matched by the other three majors and The Players Championship.
The 2015 PGA Championship starts August 13 at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wis.
