The 2020 Safeway Open purse is set for $6.6 million, with 73 professional players who complete four rounds at Silverado Resort in Napa, Calif., earning a paycheck this week.
The winner's share of the Safeway Open prize pool is at $1,188,000, with the second-place finisher taking home $719,400.
The Safeway Open field is headed by Phil Mickelson, Harold Varner III, Harry Higgs and more.
This tournament started with 156 players, and there was a 36-hole cut made this week at 5-under 139 or better.
With the new PGA Tour cut rule down to the top 65 and ties, no players are subject to the PGA Tour's secondary cut any longer.
What else is on the line
Beyond money, there are important points, perks and benefits on the line for the field -- in particular, the tournament winner.
The winner of this event will get 500 FedEx Cup points. Every player who completes this event earns FedEx Cup points, and only PGA Tour members qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs.
Additionally, there are 26 big Official World Golf Ranking points on the line for the winner, as this is one of the strongest fields in golf this year.
While this event offers a significant payday, a win comes with the benefits that come with winning on the PGA Tour. Winners of these events get a two-plus season exemption on the PGA Tour, berths into the 2021 Masters, the 2021 Sentry Tournament of Champions, 2021 The Players Championship and the 2021 PGA Championship.
