Charles Schwab Challenge payout distribution 2024: Prize money, purse
The golf continued on Saturday and Sunday at Colonial for the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge but it was with heavy hearts all around the sport and on the PGA Tour. This year's Sony Open winner and PGA Tour member Grayson Murray tragically and unexpectedly passed away on Saturday at just 30 years old, the tour announced, after withdrawing from the tournament on Friday due to an illness with only two holes left to play.
It was the Murray family's wishes to continue the tournament, so PGA Tour Commissioner honored those wishes and the play continued. And Saturday on the golf course was eventful. Davis Riley, the 36-hole leader, stayed in front of the pack with another solid 4-under round. However, the horses nipping at his heels got a bit scarier as World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler fired off a ridiculous round of 7-under to vault into solo second place, four back of Riley.
Meanwhile, Pierceson Coody, Hayden Buckley, Robby Shelton and Tony Finau came into Sunday like sharks in the water hoping Riley might fall back in the final round.
And while it might all seem a bit silly given the sudden severity and weight of the weekend at Colonial, all of these golfers are still vying for a payday. But what does the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge payout distribution look like and how much prize money is on the line? Let's take a look at a full breakdown of this year's purse.
Charles Schwab Challenge purse 2024: Winner's prize money, total purse
The winner of the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge will receive $1.638 million in prize money for the victory at Colonial. The purse for this week's tournament is set at $9.1 million. Both totals are a slight increase from what we saw from this event in 2023 with a $400,000 increase in the total purse and a little more than a $70,000 increase in the winner's share of the prize money as well.
