Below is the final leaderboard for the United States Disc Golf Championship, featuring the prize money earned for a top 60 finish. This year’s USDGC purse was $70,550, which included $31,550 of added cash. It was a 9% increase over last year’s purse of $63,550.
With a $10,000 payout for first place, it matches the biggest winner’s prize at any event this year (Pro Worlds also paid out $10,000 for first place), but was $2,000 less than the 2017 payout for first place.
