The 2026 American Family Insurance Championship purse is set for $3 million, with the winner's share coming in at $600,000 -- the standard 15 percent payout according to the PGA Tour Champions' prize money distribution chart.
The American Family Insurance Championship field is headed by Steven Alker, Ernie Els, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Darren Clarke and more.
It's the latest event of the season, with 76 players taking on the Madison host course. There is no cut in this unique team event, where the first and third rounds are played under
This tournament is played at TPC Wisconsin in Madison, Wisconsin.
The American Family Insurance Championship will be played over three days from Thursday through Saturday.
What else is on the line: Charles Schwab Cup points, OWGR points, exemptions
Beyond money, there are important points, perks and benefits on the line for the field -- in particular, the tournament winner.
The money earned this week counts toward the Charles Schwab Cup points list. Each dollar earned translates into a regular season point to qualify for the Charles Schwab Cup playoffs in 2026.
At the end of the season in 2026, 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.
The PGA Tour Champions does not offer Official World Golf Ranking points in its events.
