The 2024 Rogers Charity Classic will have its winner crowned in just a few hours. As the final round is scheduled to begin on August 18, the leaderboard has taken a rather dynamic turn. Australia’s Richard Green fired eleven birdies through the Saturday round, which means he enters the final day with a one-stroke lead. But we expect a few more twists and turns as Green aims for his first-ever PGA Champions victory. But how much money he can take home?

Last year, it was Ken Duke who won the event when it was called the  Shaw Charity Classic. It was his first PGA Champions title as he bagged a prize money of $360,000. So how much the winner at the rebranded Rogers Charity Classic will take home?

Is there any change in the prize money from last year?

The total purse for the Rogers Charity Classic is $2.4 million, the same as last year. The winner will take home $360,000, the same as Kevin Duke won last year. This is the standard PGA Tour Champion’s prize money payout distribution chart—a standard 15% of the total purse.

Additionally, the runner-up and the second runner-up will pocket $211,200 and $172,800, respectively, at the 19th Tour event. A field of 78 players is competing at the Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. So far, Richard Green is holding the top position with a -13 score followed by Boo Weekley and Steven Alker, both of them having scored -12. The top players stand to win Charles Schwab Cup points as well.

Here is the complete distribution of the purse among the 78 players. Notably, there is a not 36-hole cut.

The prize money is not the only attraction of winning the 2024 Rogers Charity Classic. The winner will also be getting added perks as he takes home the trophy and prize money with him.

$2.1 million bonus pool, Charles Schwab points for the winner

There are a series of benefits aligned on the line for the winner of the tournament on the Champions Tour. The money earned by the leader will count towards the Charles Schwab Cup points list. Every dollar translates into a regular season point that will help the player qualify for the Charles Schwab Cup playoffs this year. Only the top 72 players on the list will be able to get into the first leg of the series

At the end of the season this year, the top five players on the list after the playoffs will be distributed parts of the $2.1 million bonuses pool, all included as annuities, based on the points standings. However, the PGA Tour Champions does not give out any OWGR points, pretty much like LIV Golf.

The field for the event includes defending champion Ken Duke, New Zealand’s Steven Alker, who occupies the third spot in the Charles Schwab Cup standings, Ken Tanigawa, who holds two PGA Tour Champions wins, and Calgary’s own Steve Blake among others.

Update: Ken Tanigawa emerged victorious on Sunday at the Rogers Charity Classic closing with a 6-under 64 to see off Richard Green by two shots. This win marked Tanigawa’s third PGA Tour Champions victory and his first on the circuit since June 2019, as he finished at 17-under 193. For Green, the wait for a first win on the tour goes on.
