PGA Tour Zurich Classic Prize Money
On the PGA Tour, it was a team week. After a couple of weeks of the biggest names in golf competing against one another in major events, there was a little break for a week where players played four days in a different format in a much more laid-back setting.
However, five of the top 15 players in the world were competing at TPC Louisiana, so there were some larger names in the field than usual. Ultimately, it was two of those more well-known players, Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry.
While Ramey and Trainer will receive $525,100 as a consolation prize, McIlroy and Lowry will each pocket $1,286,050. Mark Hubbard and Ryan Brehm tied for third place and split the $343,763 prize money.
