The 2022 Principal Charity Classic prize money payout is from the $1.85 million purse, with 78 professional players who complete four rounds at Wakanda Club in Des Moines, Iowa, earning PGA Tour Champions prize money and an official-money paycheck this week.
The winner's share of the Principal Charity Classic prize pool is at $277,500, with the second-place finisher taking home $162,800. The Principal Charity Classic prize money payout breakdown shows a payout of 15 percent of the purse to the winner, and how much each PGA Tour Champions player earns is guaranteed down to the last-place player, which is $925 for 78th place.
The Principal Charity Classic field is headed by Steve Stricker, David Toms, Steve Alker and more.
This tournament started with 78 players, and a cut was not made this week after two rounds. Every professional player in the field is paid for completing the event, but how much each player is paid at the 2022 Principal Charity Classic from the correct 2022 Principal Charity Classic full-field payout is based on their finish.
Since PGA Tour Champions events do not have a cut, every player can improve their position in the final round of this 72-hole event.
