We’ve officially reached the final round of the CJ Cup and plenty is at stake at Congaree.
Rory McIlroy, who holds a one-shot lead heading into the final round, has a chance to become world No. 1 with a strong showing on Sunday, while Jon Rahm, who sits one shot back, is looking for his first PGA Tour win since May. Joining the trio tied for second, K.H. Lee is looking for his third Tour victory, while Kurt Kitayama looks to breakthrough for the very first time.
Beyond the trophy (and glory) that comes with the win, the victor on Sunday will also walk away with a handsome payday — $1.89 million to be exact. In all, the CJ Cup will dole out $10.5 million in prize money on Sunday.
You can check out the complete payout breakdown below, and catch the final-round action from 2:30-5:30 p.m. ET on Golf Channel.
