The 2025 Zurich Classic of New Orleans purse is set for $8.9 million, with the winners' share coming in at $2,658,800, or $1,329,400 each -- using the standard 18 percent payout according to the PGA Tour's prize money distribution chart.

The 2025 Zurich Classic of New Orleans field is headed by Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry, Wyndham Clark, Sahith Theegala, Collin Morikawa, Matt Fitzpatrick and more of the world's best players. McIlroy and Lowry are the defending champions.

The 160-player, 80-team field competes in the only official team event on the PGA Tour schedule, with players competing in two-person teams in two formats over four rounds.

A cut is made after 36 holes to the top 33 teams and ties. All players who finish four rounds of the tournament will earn money. The prize money for each team combines and averages out what each teammate would earn if they finished individually on the leaderboard. The first-place team splits what the first- and second-place finishers would earn had this been an individual event. The third-place team splits the combined third- and fourth-place individual prize money.

The Zurich Classic of New Orleans prize-money payout is based on exacting 65 players making the cut and finishing the tournament. However, in PGA Tour events with a standard 36-hole cut to the top 65 players and ties, the payout formula is adjusted to account for the exact number of players making the cut and will often include adding money to the stated purse to account for additional players.
