How much prize money each golfer earned at the 2019 Sentry Tournament of Champions

It’s not exactly free money they were giving out Sunday at the Sentry Tournament of Champions. You had to earn your way into the winners-only tournament at Kapalua Resort on Maui. But with just 33 players competing (after Kevin Na WD’d on Day 1) and no cut, anything any player came away with this week in the first PGA Tour event of 2019 was easy pickings. With a purse of $6.5 million, last-place money in Hawaii was still $63,500. Compare that to finishing T-33 at last year’s Wyndham Championship where you earned $33,900. Nice work if you can get it.

And first place? Well, Xander Schauffele walked off with $1.3 million … and an invitation into next year’s event where he can earn more free easy money
