After enduring a brutal test at the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont last weekend, many of the PGA Tour's biggest stars were likely relieved to head to TPC River Highlands for the Travelers Championship. And not just because the rough is more forgiving: Contenders like Tommy Fleetwood, Keegan Bradley and Jason Day are all vying for one of the most generous purses on the schedule (and a monster prize as the winner).
As expected, scoring has been a bit easier to come by than it was at Oakmont. Fleetwood entered Sunday as the leader at 16-under, and the overwhelming majority of the field as at or below par by the weekend. All that plus a healthy payday; what more could a golfer ask for? Let's take a look at the full 2025 Travelers Championship payouts, starting with the winner's prize money.
Travelers Championship purse 2025: Winner's prize money, total purse
The winner of the 2025 Travelers Championship will receive $3.6 million in prize money from the $20 million purse, one of the biggest of the year in the eighth and final signature event of the season. That's just $1.5 million shy of the U.S. Open purse last weekend, and tied for the fourth-largest overall behind just the U.S. Open, the Players Championship and The Masters. That also makes the winner's share among the biggest in golf as well.

With a limited field competing this week, there was no cutline; 72 players began on Thursday, and 67 will finish the final round after five withdrawals. As far as the prize money goes, this is the same total purse and winner's share that we've seen for the past two years, but that still doesn't make the payouts any less impressive. Paying every player more than $35,000 isn't too shabby.
Travelers Championship payouts for winners, list of champions over the last 5 years
Winner | Payout |
|---|---|
2024: Scottie Scheffler | $3.6 million |
2023: Keegan Bradley | $3.6 million |
2022: Xander Schauffele | $1.494 million |
2021: Harris English | $1.332 million |
2020: Dustin Johnson | $1.332 million |
You can see here just how drastically the winner's payout has spiked in recent years, nearly tripling from the 2021 tournament. The total purse has charted a similar trajectory, from $7,400,000 in 2020 to $20 million this year. That is wild, but once again goes to show how much money has entered the golf world over the past few years.
