2024 Travelers Championship purse, prize money: Payouts for golfers in field from $20 million pool
Record-Breaking Earnings and High Stakes: The 2024 Travelers Championship
The 2024 Travelers Championship this week marks the last of eight high-stakes signature events for the PGA Tour this season. With many of these tournaments following a no-cut format, including the Travelers Championship, they have all boasted substantial total purses of $20 million.
It’s an exhilarating time to be a professional golfer, and perhaps even more so for Scottie Scheffler. With over two months remaining in the season, Scheffler has already shattered the PGA Tour’s all-time earnings record, amassing just over $24 million this year alone. This feat surpasses his previous record set just a year ago, where he garnered over $21 million.
### Scheffler’s Dominance in Signature Events
Scheffler’s remarkable $24 million earnings have been significantly fueled by his victories in three of the first seven signature events, which kicked off in January. The winners of these prestigious events have showcased their prowess, earning substantial rewards. Here’s a recap of the winners and their prize money from the seven signature events so far:
– **The Sentry:** Chris Kirk ($3.6 million)
– **Pebble Beach Pro Am:** Wyndham Clark ($3.6 million)
– **Genesis Invitational:** Hideki Matsuyama ($4 million)

### A Look Ahead: The 2024 Travelers Championship
This week’s Travelers Championship features a $20 million purse to be divided among 71 players. Initially, 72 players were slated to compete, but following his heartbreaking loss at the U.S. Open, Rory McIlroy withdrew from the event.
