Farmers Insurance Open payout distribution 2024: Prize money, purse

Coming to Torrey Pines for the Farmers Insurance Open on the PGA Tour always means that we're going to get some excitement. In some years, that means the big names showing up and dominating one of the most famed tracks in golf. But in the 2024 tournament, it meant some young guns trying to make a name for themselves and hold off some of the world's best.

Stephan Jaeger entered Saturday's final round with the lead but with some other youngsters like Nicolai Hojgaard and Thomas Detry close behind. Also within striking distance was another upstart, Matthieu Pavon, and some familiar winners like Tony Finau, Xander Schauffele and Ludvig Åberg. That created a ton of drama for the last 18 holes.

With this being the last non-signature event before heading to Pebble Beach, the tensions were high. But how much money were these players teeing it up for this week at Torrey Pines for the Farmers Insurance Open? Let's take a look at the purse and payout breakdown.

Farmers Insurance Open purse 2024: Winner's prize money, total purse

The winner of the 2024 Farmers Insurance Open will take home $1.62 million in prize money, which is a huge portion of the total $9 million purse available for the players this week at Torrey Pines. This is on par with what we've seen recently at The American Express and Sony Open, so this is what type of payout and prize money that winners can expect in the regular PGA Tour events this season.

Now, let's see how that $9 million purse breaks down by finishing position this week at the Farmers.

These payout numbers at the Farmers Insurance Open, again, are going to be far lesser than what we'll see at Pebble Beach next week for a signature event. Having said that, the winner here can earn their way into that event and the potential for bigger paydays moving forward. Throwing that on top of $1.62 million doesn't seem like a bad bit of business.

And on top of that, with a berth into The Masters and potentially other major championships as well, that's more incentive for the winners and the top finishers at a tournament like this one at Torrey Pines.
