On Sunday at the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge, two players have separated themselves on the leaderboard: Ben Griffin and Matti Schmid have a four-shot advantage over their closest competitor, Rickie Fowler. And World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is also lurking after a mighty charge on Saturday.
In addition to a PGA Tour title, there’s also lots of money at stake. Here’s everything you need to know about the Charles Schwab Challenge purse, payout info and winner’s share.
How much money they are playing for
The Charles Schwab Challenge is being played a famed Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, this week. It’s not a Signature Event, but it still has a hefty purse up for grabs.
The total purse for this week’s Charles Schwab Challenge is $9.5 million, with the winner taking home $1.71 million. Finishing close to the top of the leaderboard is lucrative too, with second place earning $1.035 million, and the top 22 players clearing six figures.
For Schmid, especially, Sunday could be a particularly significant payday. The 27-year-old German pro has never won on the PGA Tour, and his biggest check to date was in 2023, when he earned $448,500 for finishing third at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship. If he can finish solo fourth or better on Sunday, he’ll top that mark.
Below is the total purse, payout breakdown and winner’s share for the Charles Schwab Challenge.
