2025 Club Car Championship: Prize Money Breakdown & Winner’s Payout

The Club Car Championship at The Landings Golf & Athletic Club is a key stop on the Korn Ferry Tour, offering rising stars a shot at PGA Tour status. In 2024, the event delivered a hometown fairytale as Georgia native Steven Fisk stunned the field with a playoff victory. The Georgia Southern alum fired a final score of 14-under-par (274), birdieing three of his last four holes to tie Rob Oppenheim before sealing the win on the first playoff hole. The triumph launched Fisk from relative obscurity to PGA Tour status, marking one of the most emotional and defining wins of the season.

As the 2025 Club Car Championship unfolds beneath the Georgia sun, there’s more than just prestige and Korn Ferry Tour points on the line—there’s a hefty $1,000,000 purse waiting to be claimed, with $180,000 awarded to the winner. The runner-up earns $90,000, third place takes home $60,000, and payouts extend down to $4,000 for 65th place. At the Deer Creek Course, the stakes have never been higher for players chasing their PGA Tour dreams.

Offering far more than financial comfort, securing that top spot also means locking in 500 Korn Ferry Tour points—crucial for any player hoping to break into the coveted top 20 by season’s end and punch a ticket to the PGA Tour. On this “Road to French Lick,” every dollar earned and every point gained carries weight, but the Club Car Championship, with its generous payout and key positioning on the schedule, looms especially large.

Here is the complete breakdown of the purse, which will be distributed among 65 players, which will be inclusive of ties, as per Golf News Net:

The stakes don’t end with money and Tour cards. The champion will also earn an estimated 14.2 Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) points, a critical boost for those chasing invites to elite global fields and trying to secure their place among the world’s best.

As the stakes rise beyond cash and ranking points, all eyes turn to the action unfolding at Deer Creek—who will win this?

What’s happening in Round 3 of the Club Car Championship?

This year’s field includes notable names like Hank Lebioda, Josh Teater, Kyle Westmoreland, and Justin Suh—including 17-year-old Blades Brown debuting—all players chasing their next big breakthrough. But as Round 3 progresses, it’s Scotland’s Russell Knox who holds the solo lead at 11-under-par, steady through the day despite mounting pressure. Just one shot behind him are Americans Travis Crowe and Mac Meissner, both even on the round and clinging tightly to contention.

Now, as another weekend in April unfolds under the coastal Georgia skies, a new champion waits to emerge. The stakes are real. The money is massive. And somewhere between the tee box and the final green, another life-changing moment is about to be written.
