With a challenging course layout and a strong field featuring stars like Xander Schauffele, Tommy Fleetwood, and Justin Thomas, the tournament promises intense competition leading up to Sunday’s final round.
This year’s prize money has seen a slight increase from 2024, when Peter Malnati took home $1,512,000 as the champion.
The 2025 winner will walk away with $1,566,000-an increase of $54,000-along with 500 valuable FedEx Cup points, a two-year PGA Tour exemption, and a coveted invitation to The Masters.
With these stakes in play, every shot counts as the field battles through the infamous “Snake Pit,” the daunting three-hole finish that often determines the champion.

Beyond the top 10, payouts continue to reward those who make the cut, with the 20th-place finisher earning $115,275 and the 50th-place player taking home $22,359.
Even the last eligible player in 65th place will receive $18,705.
