How much does a pro golfer earn based on his finish? The table below compares payouts for key positions (1st to last) across five tours, using data from tournaments held between June 19 and 22, 2025: PGA Tour, LPGA, PGA Tour Champions, Korn Ferry Tour, and HotelPlanner Tour. The differences are massive. PGA Tour winners get $3.6M, while HotelPlanner winners earn just €48K. Even 10th place on the PGA Tour pays $540K — more than 1st place on most of the other tours. Mid-board payouts (30–60) are somewhat closer across tours, but the PGA Tour clearly leads across the board.
- For tied positions (e.g., multiple players tied for 9th), the payout used reflects the amount received by the player ranked 10th on the leaderboard, to allow fair comparison.
