We’ve reached the final round of the 2021 Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas, Nev. — below, find everything you need to know about tournament money, including purse, payout information and winner’s share.
Shriners Hospitals for Children Open final round preview
Another Sunday on the PGA Tour, another final round with Sam Burns in contention. Burns’ place atop the leaderboard is becoming something of a habit for the wraparound season, in which alternate field events have given way to a new reign of top-tier competitors. After last week’s win at the Sanderson Farms, Burns enters Sunday’s final round in Vegas at -16, two strokes off the lead set by Adam Schenk.
Still, he’s far from the only intriguing name with a legit chance at a win on Sunday. Perhaps the best story of the weekend is Matthew Wolff, who enters the final round one stroke off Schenk’s mark. Wolff is looking for his first victory since the 3M Open in 2019, and to avenge his playoff loss to Martin Laird at last year’s Shriners. Of course, he’s fresh off a hiatus from the game of professional golf to focus on, among other things, his mental health. A win on Sunday would be just the second of the 22-year-old’s career.
Further back, Sungjae Im and Louis Oosthuizen look to mount Sunday charges to thrust themselves into the thick of contention. Below, find everything you need to know about the Shriners’ $7 million purse; you can catch the action from 5-8 p.m. on Golf Channel.
