The 2019 Charles Schwab Cup Championship purse is set for $2.5 million, with the winner's share coming in at $440,000 -- slightly more than the standard 15 percent (17.6) payout according to the PGA Tour Champions' prize money distribution chart.
The Charles Schwab Cup Championship field is headed by Bernhard Langer, Scott McCarron and Jerry Kelly. It's the final event of three in the Charles Schwab Cup playoffs, which is a three-event series starting with 72 players. This event has 36 players.
The top five players in the final standings are paid part of the $2.1 million bonus pool (all as annuities), based on the points standings at the conclusion of this week.
The Charles Schwab Cup Championship is a rare regular event on PGA Tour Champions which is played over 72 holes. There is no cut.
Coming into this week, Scott McCarron held a significant lead over Jerry Kelly, followed by Bernhard Langer, Colin Montgomerie and Retief Goosen rounding out the top five.
Though there are a limited number of players who can win the Charles Schwab Cup this week, all 36 players who qualify for the season-ending event assure themselves exempt status for the 2020 PGA Tour Champions season. With PGA Tour Champions being the hardest tour in which to maintain exempt status, this is a tremendous achievement giving way to guaranteed money the next season.
This tournament is played at Phoenix Country Club in Phoenix, Ariz.
