Below is the final leaderboard for the USDGC, featuring the prize money earned for a top 40 finish. This year’s purse was $63,550, which included $33,850 of added cash. It was a 24% increase over last year’s purse of $51,180.
With a $12,000 payout for first place, it matches the biggest winner’s prize at any event this year (Pro Worlds also paid out $12,000 for first place). The last two players to cash — Adam Hammes and Dustin Perry — each received $610. Last year, the tournament paid out the same number of players, but the last to cash only got $75.
