The PGA Tour has returned to South Florida for the inaugural edition of the Cadillac Championship, the newest signature event on the league’s schedule. It’s the first time back at the Blue Monster course since the WGC-Cadillac Championship ended in 2016, and many of the world’s best are aiming to tame one of the longest courses they’ll visit all season at 7,739 yards.
With three signature events between the Masters and the PGA Championship, the condensed schedule has led to some notable absences with Rory McIlroy, Matt Fitzpatrick, Xander Schauffele and Ludvig Åberg all missing from the field. Those big names skipping the event offer some opportunity for the rest of the 72-man field to cash in from the Tour’s just in $20 million purse.
Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Young, Tommy Fleetwood, Collin Morikawa, Russell Henley, Justin Rose, Viktor Hovland, Justin Thomas and more opened the week looking to take advantage and capture a big win to provide some momentum heading into the second major of the season — and earn some major money in the process. Young holds a six-shot lead entering the final round with Scheffler the closest big name on his heels, sitting in T2 alongside Min Woo Lee.
Sunday’s winner will take home $3.6 million, while everyone who finishes in the top 10 will cash at least a $545,000 check. The top 36 will all make at least six figures, as a top-half finish in the Cadillac Championship will earn players a strong paycheck for their four days of work.
Below is the complete purse breakdown and payout structure for each position on the leaderboard at this week’s Cadillac Championship.
