The 2019 PGA Championship purse is set for $11 million, with the winner's share coming in at $1,980,000 -- the standard 18 percent payout according to the PGA Tour's prize money distribution chart.
The PGA Championship prize money payout is based on the number of players who make the cut. The PGA Championship cut rule after 36 holes is to the top 70 players and ties. Every place after 70th pays down in $100 increments, all the way down to $18,400.
Every player who competes is paid for playing. For that reason, the PGA of America also doesn't pay exactly according to the PGA Tour purse distribution. Every player who turns in a 36-hole scorecard earns $3,100. Also any player who makes the cut but has to withdraw in the final two rounds also gets $3,100.
The $11,000,000 purse is the third highest among the four majors, with the US Open at $12 million, Masters at $11.5 million and British Open Championship at $10.25 million. However, the Wanamaker trophy is the biggest in major championship golf. Of course, the purse could increase for this year, which the PGA will announce this weekend.
The PGA Championship field is headed by defending champion Justin Thomas, Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson and more.
The event is played this year at Bethpage State Park's Black Course on Farmingdale, Long Island, N.Y.
