We’re coming down the stretch on a high-intensity week at the Farmers Insurance Open. Here’s everything you need to know about the purse information, including payout information and winner’s share at Torrey Pines on Sunday.
Farmers Insurance Open Final Round Preview
Patrick Reed. Patrick Reed. Patrick Reed. For better or worse, the 30-year-old has once again found himself at the center of the PGA Tour conversation after a rules situation involving an embedded-ball left many skeptical Reed had manipulated the situation for a better lie. The PGA Tour released a statement saying both Reed and Rory McIlroy (who faced a near-identical situation on the 18th hole) acted within rule 16.3 of the Rules of Golf, and both will not face any subsequent punishment.
Reed holds the lead heading into the turn at Torrey Pines Sunday, but he’s being chased by a series of PGA Tour young guns. Viktor Hovland is just one stroke back (at 12 under), while Carlos Ortiz and Tony Finau (each -10) lurk in the distance. A Reed win on Sunday would be his first since the WGC-Mexico Championship nearly 11 months ago.
Below is the payout information and winner’s share for the Farmers Insurance Open’s $7.5 million purse; fans who wish to catch the coverage of the first tournament at this year’s U.S. Open venue can tune into CBS beginning at 3:00 p.m. ET and continuing through the completion of play.
