What else can the PGA Championship winner earn?
If you win the PGA Championships, you have entry to the prestigious tournament for life without having to qualify.
Winners also get a five-year exemption to play in all four of the golf majors without needing to qualify. They also receive five-year Tour cards applicable for the PGA Tour and DP Tour.
Another massive perk is the number of ranking points the winner receives. We are talking 100 world ranking points and 600 PGA Tour FedEx Cup points, giving the player the opportunity to play in events with more prize money down the line.
Last but not least, champions get to pick the menu for the following year's PGA Championship dinner.
