We’re halfway through the second major championship of the season, and we finally know how much money is up for grabs along with the iconic Wanamaker Trophy.
The PGA Championship is back at Quail Hollow Club in North Carolina this week. The PGA of America announced on Saturday that it is offering a record $19 million purse, which will send the winner home with a $3.42 million check.

The purse this week is in line with the largest offered on the PGA Tour this season. By comparison, the Masters offered a $21 million purse last month — which was a record for the event and sent Rory McIlroy home with a $4.2 million check for his win. The Players Championship is the largest offered on Tour at $25 million, and the signature events each have a $20 million purse.
Last season, the PGA Championship had an $18.5 million purse, which only beat the British Open among the four major championships. That was the largest amount offered at a PGA Championship in history, and allowed Xander Schauffele to take home $3.3 million for his win.
Scottie Scheffler was a slight favorite entering the week, though the top-ranked golfer entered moving day three shots back of Jhonattan Vegas — who jumped out to the lead after getting to 8-under. He’s the first Venezuelan man to ever lead a major championship. Matthieu Pavon, Matt Fitzpatrick, Si Woo Kim and Max Homa are all in the mix as of Saturday morning, too.
While there aren’t a ton of stars at the top of the leaderboard, the Wanamaker Trophy is still very much anybody’s to grab.

What’s at stake for Scottie Scheffler on Sunday? It’s more than a PGA Championship trophy
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Like two legacies passing in the night 100 yards across Quail Hollow’s 15-acre lake, Bryson DeChambeau and Scottie Scheffler’s climbs up the mountaintop swapped places and traded roars in a way that sent one back on his heels.At 5:25 p.m., it was PGA Championship solo leader DeChambeau furiously high-fiving fans after consecutive birdies. Twenty minutes later, DeChambeau stood over a bogey putt and had to step off. The pandemonium across the water was too much. At first, he didn’t give it enough validation to look up, but eventually, he had to.AdvertisementOh, he saw it. Scheffler’s 305-yard, high-arcing 3-wood tee shot softly rolling perfectly to the pin on No. 14 for a tap-in eagle. DeChambeau missed his bogey putt, fell to 5-under and could only continue to watch as Scheffler catapulted himself to a solo lead that by […]

Nico Ali Walsh brushes off $3M Jake Paul fight offer with powerful message
Nico Ali Walsh has never been shy about his priorities, and once again he has put legacy miles ahead of lucre. Tempting seven-figure offers to face social-media sensation-turned-boxer Jake Paul continue to arrive, yet the 24-year-old middleweight refuses to budge. His reasoning could not be clearer: "I'm fighting for my bloodline and he's fighting for headlines."Canelo Alvarez rocks like a superstar and strikes first against William Scull in Saudi ArabiaThe remark, delivered to Sky Sports last June, echoes like a mission statement. While Paul's camp has courted him since early 2022 - and reportedly dangled sums well into the millions - Ali Walsh's answer has stayed the same. The Chicago-born prospect, now 10-0, believes the fastest way to tarnish a name minted by Muhammad Ali is to shortcut the climb for cash.Gears of War film adaptation will be directed by […]

Tom Brady has already hit a home run with Ashton Jeanty before he takes an NFL snap
The Las Vegas Raiders, and possibly Fox Sports, would like you to believe that Tom Brady doesn't have major input in the decisions the organization's front office makes. That may be partly true, given that he's technically just a minority owner and doesn't have a specific role within the franchise, but head coach Pete Carroll recently mentioned that he speaks frequently with Brady. Brady's "philosophy" is something Carroll takes to heart.With both Brady and Carroll's philosophies melding together, it was no surprise at all to see the Raiders draft Ashton Jeanty at sixth overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. The legendary running back out of Boise State is set to be the centerpiece of the Raiders offense, just as Marshawn Lynch was when Carroll dominated the NFC with the Seattle Seahawks. Jeanty was one of the most NFL-ready prospects in […]
