At long last, Xander Schauffele now has a major championship.
Schauffele drained a clutch birdie putt at the 18th to beat out Bryson DeChambeau on Sunday afternoon at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, and win the PGA Championship. It marked the first major championship of his career, and his eighth career win on the PGA Tour.
Schauffele went wire-to-wire after posting a course-record 62 to kick off the week. He also posted the lowest score to par ever at a major championship.
The PGA Championship increased its total purse to a record $18.5 million this year, which is up $1 million from last year’s tournament at Oak Hill. That left an impressive $3.3 million payday for Schauffele, and at least $500,000 for everyone who finished inside the top 10.
While the purse is a record for the tournament, it’s less than both the Masters purse and purses for signature events on the PGA Tour. Scottie Scheffler earned $3.6 million for winning the Masters last month, which had a $20 million purse.
Here’s a look at how much Schauffele and the rest of the field earned this week at Valhalla.
