Here’s the prize money payout for each golfer at the 2024 RBC Canadian Open
You’ll pardon if there’s been a “hold your breath” kind of feel at this week’s RBC Canadian Open. After all, the past two years the event has been played in the shadow of off-course drama that has threatened to leave the historic national event somewhat forgotten—if not for impressive victories from Rory McIlroy and Nick Taylor.
Then last year, the shocking framework between between the PGA Tour and the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia (LIV’s financial catalyst) was announced on June 6, Tuesday of Canadian Open week, and threw the entire golf world for a loop. Once again, though, the golf stole back the headlines come Sunday when Taylor rolled in a 72-foot eagle putt in a playoff against Tommy Fleetwood to become the first Canadian to win his national Open in 69 years.
So far, however, the return to Hamilton Golf & Country Club outside Toronto, which last held the event in 2019, won by McIlroy, has been uneventful. Of course, many are hoping there will be more final-round theatric this time around. Whoever comes out victorious will earn a first-place prize money payout of $1.693 million from an overall purse of $9.4 million.
Here are the prize money payouts for the entire field. Come back shorten after the tournament ends and we’ll update things with individual names and prize money payouts.
