The first PGA Tour event of the 2021 season has finally reached its last day. Here’s everything you need to know about the 2021 Fortinet Championship’s money, including purse, prize payout, and winner’s share.

Fortinet Championship final round preview

He is currently the 1,078th-best player in the world, but in Napa, Calif. all that matters is that he’s No. 1. Jim Knous, a 31-year-old pro golf journeyman, improbably enters the final round of the Fortinet Championship tied for the lead with Maverick McNealy — the two players each sit at 14 under through 54 holes.

Closely behind, Max Homa looks to mount a Sunday charge. Homa, sprouting a fine piece of facial hair and a 12 under, 54-hole score, lurks two strokes back of the leaders heading into Sunday’s final round. A win in Napa would be the California kid’s first since winning down the coast at the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades.
