As the 2026 PGA Championship heads into the weekend at the historic Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, the stakes have never been higher. A record-breaking $20.5 million purse is on the line, marking the third consecutive year of growth—a $1.5 million increase from 2025 and a total jump of $3.5 million since 2022. That's serious momentum for one of golf's most prestigious events.

Of the 156 players who teed off earlier this week, 82 have made the cut and are still in the hunt for the iconic Wanamaker Trophy. Weighing in at a hefty 27 pounds, this trophy is the largest in golf, and the player who hoists it on Sunday will also take home a life-changing payday: $3.69 million. That's a significant bump from last year's winner's share of $3.42 million, which went to Scottie Scheffler at Quail Hollow for his first PGA Championship title.

The top 10 finishers will each earn at least $553,000, while the top 33 players will secure a six-figure payday. Even those who just made the cut are guaranteed a minimum of $23,900, with plenty of room to climb the leaderboard and increase their earnings. It's a testament to the depth of talent and the high stakes of major championship golf.
