The PGA Tour Championship has reached Arizona for the 2024 Charles Schwab Cup Championship. It kicked off a few hours ago on Thursday and will go on through Sunday at the Phoenix Country Club. As the opening round concluded, American professional Stewart Cink took the lead. He opened the round with three consecutive birdies and closed it with a 527-yard birdie on the par-5 eighteenth hole, with a score of 7-under 64. 

Following him is the South Korean golfer K.J. Chol, who is three strokes behind at 4-under 67 after carding five birdies and one bogey on Thursday. The championship just keeps getting more exciting, and you will be in for a great weekend if you have booked your tickets for the Phoenix Country Club. However, if you cannot make it and still wish to catch all the action live, here’s what you need to do.

This PGA Tour Champions event hosted at the par-71 layout has the Golf Channel as its official broadcasting partner, just like most events. The opening round was featured from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm on the channel. And well, for the following three rounds as well, the timings remain the same. If you want to watch the event on your smartphone, all you need to do is download the NBC Sports app, tune into it at the same time, and enjoy the action by yourself.

It has been almost three years since Stewart Cink last won the PGA Tour title at the 2021 RBC Heritage. If he continues with the same momentum, there are high chances that he will take home the title and the added perks on Sunday.

How much money will Stewart Cink take home if he wins the 2024 Charles Schwab Cup Championship?

The 2024 Charles Schwab Cup Championship is the season’s final event. It features 36 players competing on the Arizona host course. As with all PGA Tour Champions events, there is no 36-hole cut, and the tournament spans 72 holes. If Stewart Cink bags the win on Sunday, he will be taking home a whopping $528,000. The total purse is $3 million, and well, the share is not according to the 15% payout according to the PGA Tour Champions’s prize money distribution. But well, that is not all.

In addition to the financial rewards, there are crucial points, perks, and benefits at stake, particularly for the tournament winner. The earnings from this week contribute to the Charles Schwab Cup points standings, with every dollar earned translating into two points for the three Schwab Cup playoff events. When the season comes to an end, the top five players in the final standings will be given out parts of the $2.1 million bonus pool, based on where they stand.
