Charles Schwab Cup Championship prize money payouts for all the PGA Tour Champions golfers
Todd KellyPHOENIX — The Charles Schwab Cup Championship is the final event of the PGA Tour Champions 2025 season. It's one last chance to bank a payday before the offseason/silly season for the senior circuit golfers.
First place at Phoenix Country Club was good for $528,000. The top eight finishers all earned checks in the six figures. All 36 players in the field get paid as well, as there was no cut this week in the 72-hole event, the only non-major to go 72 holes all season.
