2025 Bank of Utah Championship: Prize Money Breakdown & Winner’s Payout

The PGA Tour’s fall season is currently at its fourth stop this week. The action is at the desert landscapes of Ivins, Utah, where the Bank of Utah Championship takes center stage at Black Desert Resort. It’s the 43rd stop on the 2025 PGA Tour schedule, and with only three other events remaining on the fall schedule, every point and every paycheck matters a little more. The 132 players are also fighting for a $6 million purse, with the winner set to take home $1.08 million. As usual, there will be a cut after 36 holes, trimming the field to the top 65 and ties. Beyond the prize money, the winner also walks away with 500 FedEx Cup Fall points, 33.5 Official World Golf Ranking points, and a two-year PGA Tour exemption, which includes automatic entries into the 2026 PGA Championship and The Players Championship. Let’s take a look at how the $6 million will be distributed amongst the players who make the cut: Position Prize money 1 $1,080,000 2 $654,000 3 $414,000 4 $294,000 5 $246,000 6 $217,500 7 $202,500 8 $187,500 9 $175,500 10 $163,500 11 $151,500 12 $139,500 13 $127,500 14 $115,500 15 $109,500 16 $103,500 17 $97,500 18 $91,500 19 $85,500 20 $79,500 21 $73,500 22 $67,500 23 $62,700 24 $57,900 25 $53,100 26 $48,300 27 $46,500 28 $44,700 29 $42,900 30 $41,100 31 $39,300 32 $37,500 33 $35,700 34 $34,200 35 $32,700 36 $31,200 37 $29,700 38 $28,500 39 $27,300 40 $26,100 41 $24,900 42 $23,700 43 $22,500 44 $21,300 45 $20,100 46 $18,900 47 $17,700 48 $16,740 49 $15,900 50 $15,420 51 $15,060 52 $14,700 53 $14,460 54 $14,220 55 $14,100 56 $13,980 57 $13,860 58 $13,740 59 $13,620 60 $13,500 61 $13,380 62 $13,260 63 $13,140 64 $13,020 65 $12,900 For many in the field, this week is about more than just a trophy or a paycheck. The FedEx Cup Fall standings are narrowing down, and players are fighting for crucial positions. Those ranked 51–70 have their cards locked for next year, but are vying for spots in next year’s first two signature events. So, while the top 100 have full status on the PGA Tour for next season, any player ranked beyond 100 has to rely on conditional status. And beyond 125? Well, they’re off to Q-school in December. That’s why every week is extremely crucial in the fall season. But beyond so much on the line, this week is also stacked with some prominent names and familiar faces. Defending champion Matt McCarty is back, hoping to rediscover that same spark that carried him to victory last year. A PGA Tour rookie, McCarty won three times in six starts last season on the Korn Ferry Tour. But even for a player of his caliber, the transition to tougher PGA Tour setups hasn’t been without challenges, and he’s had some eye-opening lessons [https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-pga-tour-rookie-learns-eye-opening-lesson-after-leaving-the-korn-ferry-tour/] this season. But not just for McCarty. The field this week features a strong lineup, with players like Max Homa [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-homa/] and Billy Horschel fighting for coveted spots next season. For Horschel, this marks his first start on American soil since undergoing hip surgery back in April, while Homa sits right on the edge at No. 100 in the FedEx Cup Fall standings. They are both fighting to earn full status on the PGA Tour next season, and one good week could seal their spots. While this week’s stakes are high, the focus doesn’t stop at Utah. WHERE WILL PLAYERS TEE IT UP AFTER THE 2025 BANK OF UTAH CHAMPIONSHIP? Beyond this week, players will have a chance to redeem themselves at upcoming tournaments, starting with the World Wide Technology Championship at El Cardonal at Diamante in Mexico from November 6th to 9th. It will be followed by the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, the week after, at the Port Royal Golf Course in Bermuda. While both these events will offer a similar prize money to this week’s event in Utah ($6M), the final event, The RSM Classic at Sea Island Golf Club, will offer $7 million in prize money & 500 FedEx Cup points. The players who don’t secure themselves within the Top 100 in the standings after these three events will need to head to the Q-school, which will be held from December 11th to 14th, on the Dye’s Valley Course in Florida. This is the final stage of the four-part stage qualifying, and only the top five & ties will earn their full PGA Tour cards. That’s why playing well this week and in the next events is extremely crucial for many players, with everything on the line.
