The final signature event of the 2026 season wraps up Sunday with 72 of the PGA Tour's best making the short trip from Long Island to Connecticut for the Travelers Championship. With it being the final signature event of the season, the Travelers the last chance before the FedEx Cup Playoffs for players to grab their share of a $20 million purse.
In two years, every event on the PGA Tour's Championship Series will carry a purse meeting or exceeding that sum, but for now, players will have to capitalize on this final opportunity of 2026 for a massive payday.
The winner will take home $3.6 million for their efforts at TPC River Highlands this week, just as Keegan Bradley did a year ago when he thrilled the New England crowd in a comeback effort that thrust the "will he, won't he" debate over being a Ryder Cup playing captain into overdrive. That particular subplot won't be in play this year, but there are a lot of top players coming into the Travelers seeking a much-needed return to the winner's circle -- most notably Scottie Scheffler.
Everyone in the top 11 this week will take home at least $500,000, while the top 36 are all guaranteed a six-figure payday.
Check out the complete breakdown of how the $20 million purse at the 2026 Travelers Championship will be split up among the 72 players, as everyone is guaranteed a paycheck at the end of the week, as there is no cut in the final signature event of the season.
