For all, one more shot to win PGA Tour money this year.
And for some, one more shot to be in line to win PGA Tour money next year.
As the final event on the PGA Tour, this week’s RSM Classic has unique stakes. There’s the regular purse, and the winner will earn $1.26 million. And then there’s the Tour points race.
The Classic is the last opportunity for players to move into the top 100, which secures full playing privileges for 2026 — and chances at many more purses. Understandably, then, nerves are high.
Said Sam Ryder of moving into the top 100: “It would mean a lot. It would mean a lot, for sure. I love what I do and I want to have job security for as long as possible. I don’t see a retirement in my near future hopefully.”
Said Doug Ghim: “It means a lot obviously to be out here. I also know that I will probably get a handful of starts next year, and if I have to go back to the Korn Ferry Tour, that’s what I’ll do. At the end of the day, I know I’m tough enough to handle that. I know that everything happens for a reason. If I have to go do that to prove that I can win out there and come back, then that’s what I’ll do.
“But I’ll do my best in trying to win the tournament. … I would rather be on the PGA Tour next year, but I’m ready to handle whatever will happen.”
With that, here are the money payouts for the RSM Classic. The total purse is $7 million.
