After consecutive tumultuous rounds at the 2024 Shriners Children’s Open, the final day is here! Thirty-six of the sixty-six players have already teed off in the penultimate round, and the other thirty are still left to do so. The third round will be completed on Sunday, starting at 8:00 am ahead of the final round. Why? well, because the round was suspended because of darkness.

Currently, JT Poston and Doug Ghim are in the lead, with 15-under. They are yet to complete their Saturday play. Kurt Kitayama and Gary Woodland are T3 with Harris English and Alejandro Tosti after scoring 65 on Saturday. But the question is, for what are these golfers competing? Prize money, of course! 

The PGA Tour Pro who clinches the win at the TPC Summerlin in a few hours, will take home the maximum portion from the $7 million prize money. The victor will get a standard 18% of the share, making it a whopping $1.26 million. The runner-up and the second runner-up will take home $764,000 and $483,000, respectively. 

Here’s what the final prize money distribution looks like for the 2024 Shriners Children’s Open, as per Golf Digest:

Well, the four-day event at the TPC Summerlin almost marks an end to the 2024 season of the PGA Tour with just four official events namely Zozo Championship, WWT Championship, Butterfield Bermuda Championship, and RSM Classic remaining after this. So naturally, it is not just the prize money and the trophy that the winners will be taking home. There is a lot more at stake for the players at the Shriners Children’s Open. 

FedEx, and OWGR Points waiting for the winner

If JT Poston and Doug Ghim continue to keep their momentum for the remaining play, either of the two will certainly be declared the winner of the Las Vegas event 2024 edition. The winner will be entitled to get an additional 500 FedEx Cup Fall points, just like all the other Fall events. At the end of the Fall season, the top 125 players in the standings after the eighth event will carry full status into 2025, while players 126-150 earn conditional status.

That is not all. They will also bag a whopping 35.3 points to their name for the Official World Golf Ranking points. These valuable points will surely make a notable difference in their OWGR standings. Apart from the points, there are exemptions available for the winner. The victor will get a direct entry into the two signature events that is the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the Genesis Invitational. 

Do you think the winner will be among Poston and Ghim? Or a new name will emerge as the Sunday round concludes? Stay tuned to find out what happens!
