The Houston Open returned to the PGA Tour schedule this fall, and while some were disappointed that the field was void of many high-profile players, it wasn’t because of how much money was on the line. The $7.5 million purse up for grabs at the Golf Club of Houston this week matches the biggest payout of the fall season to date (The Greenbrier also had a $7.5 million prize money payout). Whoever comes out on top on Sunday will bring home $1.35 million for his effort. Only the three tour stops in Asia (CJ Cup, Zozo Championship and WGC-HSBC Champions) have a bigger payday for the winner of any of the fall tournaments.
Here is the breakdown of the prize money payout for each golfer who makes the cut this week in Houston. We’ll update this post with individual money for each player after the end of the tournament on Sunday.
