The PGA Championship raised its total prize fund this year to $20.5 million, a $1.5 million increase from last year but still third among the three American majors.
The winner’s share will be $3,690,000.
The Masters raised its total purse to $22.5 million this year, the highest payout of golf’s four majors and a $1.5 million increase from the previous year. The U.S. Open next month and the British Open in July — typically the smallest of major purses — have not announced their plans.
