Here’s a breakdown of the full prize payouts for the 2024 Black Desert Championship as per PGA Tour:

Sounds enticing enough, right? Well, that’s not all—this tournament has even more to offer. Those who finish the Fall Series ranked 61-125 will retain full status for next year’s Tour season, along with entry into the first two signature events of 2025. Meanwhile, the ones who will secure the position from no. 126 to 150, will also be partially benefited, as they will earn conditional status. Additionally, many of them may choose to compete in the PGA Tour Q-School to improve their standing. So, a win in Utah could do a significant good to pros.

Indeed, the rewards for this championship are worth all the excitement. But what we can’t overlook is the toil the entire community has put in to make this happen. As we are finally near the conclusion of this event, let’s reflect on the difficulties the tournament has endured along the way.

How has the road to the final round been?

Whether it was the sudden withdrawal of pros such as Kevin Yu from the event, or the 16 injured golfers in the practice round, the Black Desert Championship has seen it all. With constant delays and extensions because of inclement weather reaching a conclusion felt like a distant dream.
