The Sentry Tournament of Champions is the first “elevated” event on the PGA Tour’s schedule this year — and boy, is it lucrative for the 39 players competing at Kapalua this week.
The winner will take home a whopping $2.7 million check — that’s equal to the winner’s checks for both the Masters (won by Scottie Scheffler) and the PGA Championship (won by Justin Thomas) last year, and $200,000 more than the $2.5 million Cameron Smith claimed for winning the Open Championship.

The Players Championship presented the largest check of 2022, with $3.6 million going to Smith for the win. Matt Fitzpatrick earned $3.15 million for winning last year’s U.S. Open.
At the Sentry TOC, even second place will clear 7 figures, taking home $1.5 million. The last-place finisher will get $200,000, which is on par with what players generally received at a regular Tour event for finishing somewhere around the top 10.
It’s safe to say that, with 17 PGA Tour tournaments putting up increased purses this year, top finishers will be cashing in in a big way in 2023.
