It’s Sunday at the Valero Texas Open, and we’ve got a packed leaderboard featuring a handful of big names. Below is everything you need to know about the tournament money, including purse.

Valero Texas Open final round preview

Jordan Spieth, Jordan Spieth, where art thou, Jordan Spieth? Apparently, on the cusp of re-entering the winner’s circle for the first time in nearly four years. The 27-year-old three-time major champion holds a one-stroke lead in the final round of play at the Valero Texas Open. Of course, it’ll only be fitting should Spieth’s grand return come at an event held the week before the Masters, where his game first showed cracks in 2016. It only helps the case that Spieth is playing back in his home state in San Antonio, just a few hours from his Dallas home. Spieth has flirted with contention on several occasions this year, notching top-5 finishes in a series of events and even briefly surging into the lead. Still, that elusive first win has escaped him on Sunday.

At the turn on Sunday, it appears to be a three-man race for the tournament between Spieth, Charley Hoffman (who appears to be getting his game primed for an early Masters charge once again) and Matt Wallace. Spieth (-14) holds a one stroke lead over Hoffman (-13) and a two-stroke lead over Wallace (-12) with roughly 11 holes to play. The remainder of the field remains five or more strokes back.

Below is the payout information, including winner’s share, for the Valero Texas Open’s $7.7 million purse; you can catch the action all afternoon on NBC.
