The 2026 Baycurrent Championship prize money payout is from the $8 million purse, with the 71 professional players who complete four rounds at Yokohama Country Club in Yokohama, Japan, earning PGA Tour prize money this week.

The winner's share of the Baycurrent Championship prize pool is at $1,440,000, with the second-place finisher taking home $864,000 in PGA Tour prize money today. The Baycurrent Championship prize-money payout breakdown shows a payout of 18 percent of the purse to the winner, and how much each PGA Tour player earns is guaranteed down to the last-place professional player.

The 2026 Baycurrent Championship field is headed by Justin Thomas, Zach Bauchou, Max Homa, Xander Schauffele and more.

This tournament started with 72 players, and a cut was not made this week after two rounds to the top 65 players and ties. Every professional player in the field is paid for completing the event, but how much each player is paid at the 2026 Baycurrent Championship from the correct 2026 Baycurrent Championship full-field payout is based on their finish in this event.

The 2026 Baycurrent Championship prize money payout is set ahead of the event. In events with a cut, the PGA Tour will add money to the purse, with the PGA Tour paying out money from the purse if more than, in this case, 65 professionals make the cut to ensure all players are paid.
