The 2025 PGA Championship begins Thursday at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, and there’s a lot on the line for the 156 players in the field.
The winner on Sunday will enter major championship lore, but players will receive a lot more than just a trophy. Here’s everything the winner receives.
PGA Championship winner prizes
The PGA champ receives a replica of the Wanamaker Trophy, the largest trophy of the four men’s major championships.
Last year, Xander Schauffele received the top prize of $3.3 million, which was 18 percent of the $18.5 million purse. According to the PGA Championship’s official media guide: “The purse for the 2025 PGA Championship will not be disclosed until Championship week.”
The winner also receives invites into all three of the other major championships and the Players Championship for five years, PGA Tour membership for five years and DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour) membership for seven years. The winner also receives a lifetime exemption into the PGA Championship.
And, the winner, if he’s American-born, gets 1.5 points for every $1,000 earned in the PGA Championship toward a berth on the U.S. team in the 45th Ryder Cup.
