The PGA Tour has a signature competition. Excluding the four major championships and the Players Championship, the top eight super-class championships that cost 20 million U.S. dollars in total prize money are collectively referred to. As the prize money is more than twice that of other championships, top rankers are not absent.
The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am held at Pebble Beach Golf Links (par 72) in Pebble Beach, California on the 3rd (Korea time) is the second PGA signature tournament of the year.
Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland, who won the title (21-under 276) by reducing five birdies and one bogey to six shots on the final day of the tournament, has a whopping $3.6 million in prize money.
The total prize money of the Hilton Grand Vocation Tournament of Champions, which ended at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club (par 72) in Orlando, Florida, on the same day, shows how big the prize money is.
McIlroy, who participated in the PGA Tour for the first time this year, lifted his 27th career championship trophy in nine months since the Wells Fargo Championship in May last year.
McIlroy's prize money is more than 10 times higher than Kim A-rim's $300,000 prize money, which reduced five shots on the final day of the Hilton Grand Venations Tournament of Champions and won (20 under par 268 overall).
At the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Kim reduced two pars and tied for seventh (16 under par 272) to receive 640,000 dollars. The amount is more than twice the amount of Kim's prize money. Kim, who had been sluggish this season due to his performance of 65th place at the Sony Open and failing to make the cut to the American Express, posted his season's best performance to lead a rebound.
Kim Si-woo, who jumped to 12th place (13-under 275) by reducing five pars on the day, failed to make the top 10 unfortunately, but ended up with a hefty prize money of 455,000 U.S. dollars. It is also more prize money than LPGA winner Kim A-rim.
Tony Finau of the U.S., who tied for 13th, has $368,500 in prize money, and Lee Min-woo of Australia, who tied for 17th, has won $272,000, which is equivalent to the LPGA title. 안전놀이터
Although the size is growing, with three LPGA Tour events exceeding $10 million in total prize money this year, there is still a long way to go compared to the PGA Tour.
