The 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club saw 74 players make it to the weekend, but only one closed Sunday’s final round hosting the 32-pound Wanamaker Trophy, the heaviest major championship hardware coming with the heaviest of expectations. Scottie Scheffler completed the second leg of his career grand slam sojourn winning the PGA Championship in dominant fashion by six strokes over Bryson DeChambeau, Harris English and Davis Riley.
The two-time Masters green jacket holder picked up a major championship victory outside Augusta, Georgia, for the first time in his career, soaring up the leaderboard Saturday and holding his position at the top Sunday in Charlotte. Scheffler has now won five straight tournaments when holding 54 hole leads and converted 10 of 16 such opportunities in his career (62.5%).
On top of raising the massive trophy and cementing his status as a generational golfer with his third major victory, Scheffler secured the biggest piece of the record $19 million purse offered by the PGA of America this week. That total sum is up $500,000 from 2024 and $1.5 million from 2023, showing the PGA of America is continuing to invest in its signature event.
Scheffler, the 2025 PGA champion, will receive $3.42 million with the second- and third-place finishers scheduled to combine for a similar sum. The top 32 on the leaderboard are all receiving six-figure pay days, while everyone that made the cut is guaranteed at least $23,420.
The PGA Championship purse has nearly doubled in size over the last decade as players battled for just under $10 million in prize money back in 2014. Now, this year’s champion is taking home nearly one-third that sum for standing atop the field at Quail Hollow.
Let’s take a look at the full purse and prize money breakdown from the PGA of America.

Nuggets’ Aaron Gordon lobbies for interim coach David Adelman to get full-time job: ‘I hope he’s our coach’
Getty Images Given how well the Denver Nuggets played since David Adelman took over the head-coaching position on an interim basis, it would pretty surprising if he doesn't get the full-time gig. Denver fired coach Michael Malone with just three games left in the regular season, after which the team won all three to finish with a 50-32 record and home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. The Nuggets beat the Los Angeles Clippers in seven games, then took the No. 1 seed Oklahoma City Thunder to seven games.After the team's season ended with a 125-93 Game 7 loss in Oklahoma City on Sunday, Denver forward Aaron Gordon publicly backed Adelman to take on the job on a full-time basis. "I love DA," Gordon told reporters. "I hope he's here next year. I hope he's our coach."Gordon said that Adelman was "excellent […]
Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur: An unlikely partnership with two unlikely redemption arcs?
Having had clouds hanging over their heads at the beginning of the season, two of Tottenham Hotspur’s senior players are now expected to start against Manchester United in the Europa League final on Wednesday evening.Last summer, Rodrigo Bentancur was being investigated by the Football Association for allegedly making a racist comment about his team-mate Son Heung-min while video footage on social media appeared to show Yves Bissouma inhaling nitrous oxide, which is also known as NOS, laughing gas or hippie crack.AdvertisementSpurs suspended Bissouma for the opening game of the season, a 1-1 draw with Leicester City, and Bentancur received a seven-game ban from the FA in November after an independent regulatory commission found the Uruguay international guilty of an aggravated breach of their rules for his remarks about Son.They have had mixed fortunes since then. Bentancur and Bissouma play in […]
PONDĚLÍ RÁNO Triviální góly, jak u blbejch na dvorečku! Spartu sráží děravá defenziva
Silná slova, která na kameru často neslyšíte. No jo, jenže Kuchta měl recht. I s přihlédnutím k celé sezoně, respektive souhrnné cifře obdržených branek. Porovnání s ostatními účastníky skupiny o titul platí za alarmující.Slavia 18, Plzeň 35, Ostrava 31, Jablonec 29. Sparta? 43 inkasovaných gólů. Hůře je na tom jen šestá Olomouc s číslem 52.„Útok vyhrává zápasy, obrana tituly,“ říkávala trenérská legenda Sir Alex Ferguson. Proto se nabízí srovnání, znovu nelichotivé.

Dear Goodison, farewell and thank you
Everton have played at Goodison Park since 1892, but the 2-0 victory over Southampton brought the curtain down on Premier League action.A move to a new stadium on Liverpool’s waterfront will follow. To mark the final few weeks, The Athletic has produced a series of articles — and a special podcast.You can read the other pieces here and listen to the podcast below.They lined the streets from before 9am, primed for one last emotional farewell. Some scrambled up walls, others in vans and takeaways, to find space, soak up the atmosphere and catch a view of their heroes.Goodison Park had witnessed similar scenes in recent years, as fans tried to help Everton stave off relegation but this time, the tone was different.Emotional, yes. But more than anything, this was a celebration, a reminder of what the club’s home of 133 years […]
What did Bernardo Silva mean by the Manchester City ‘real ones’?
Bernardo Silva’s comments after Manchester City’s FA Cup final defeat on Saturday raised a few eyebrows and gave an insight into where things have gone wrong for them this season.It was another difficult weekend for City, beaten 1-0 by Crystal Palace at Wembley, towards the end of a desperately disappointing campaign and before what will be a decisive summer.AdvertisementBernardo has been linked with a return to his boyhood club Benfica in the coming transfer window, but he spoke post-match like somebody who intends to stay at City and help put them back on top.Having already said things need to change at the club and then refusing to be drawn any further — leaving it for “the big bosses to decide” — he was asked whether a poor season like this can help focus minds and re-energise a team.“Yeah, you learn […]
Mets defensive lapses starting to add up: ‘We’re not finishing plays’
NEW YORK — With the infield drawn in, New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso fielded the groundball cleanly near the edge of the grass. He set his feet, readied to make a throw toward home plate. But, as he’d explain later, he never got his fingers on top of the baseball properly and sailed it well wide with no chance whatsoever.AdvertisementWith one out in the eighth inning, speedy New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez got a good jump from third base, went on contact and scored easily for the lead.“From my view, a good throw would’ve had him,” Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said.The Yankees added five more runs in the inning and beat the Mets 8-2 on Sunday night to take two out of three games in this season’s first Subway Series.“I messed it up,” Alonso said. “I just […]
