The 2026 Charles Schwab Cup Championship purse is set for $3 million, with the winner's share coming in at $528,000 -- not the standard 15 percent payout according to the PGA Tour Champions' prize money distribution chart.
The Charles Schwab Cup Championship field is headed by Stewart Cink, Steve Alker, Zach Johnson and more.
It's the final event of the season, with 35 players taking on the Phoenix host course. There is no cut in this 72-hole event.
This tournament is played at Phoenix Country Club in Phoenix, Arizona.
The Charles Schwab Cup Championship will be played over four days from Thursday through Sunday.
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 two playoff points during the Charles Schwab Cup playoffs in 2026. The top 36 players in the standings after this week move onto the final stage in Arizona.
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.
