What is the prize money for the 2025 PNC Championship?

Last year, the PNC Championship was played for a purse of $1.085 million. And the same will be maintained this year as well, as per Todays Golfer. The winning team is set to receive a $200,000 paycheck, in line with the standard prize money distribution ratio of 18%. Everyone in the top 4 will get at least $50,000, in case there aren’t any ties. Even the last-placed side will get at least $40,000, which is about 4% of the total purse.

Here is the complete list of payouts:

The final payouts may be altered based on whether there are any ties on the leaderboard. However, the winning team will certainly take home a $200,000 paycheck along with the belts.

That being said, who is in pole position to win the maximum from the event? Let’s find out.

Who can win at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club?

After the end of the first round action, Matt and Cameron Kuchar have taken a formidable 2-stroke lead with a score of 15-under par. They were being chased by John Daly and his son, who managed a flawless round of 13-under.

At one point, it looked like Annika Sorenstam and Will McGee were going to end the day at the top of the table. They were in hot form, scoring 5 birdies in a row in the front 9. But they couldn’t carry that ahead in the second round and ended up with an 11-under par.

Halfway through the second round, it seems like Team Kuchar might take it all the way through. They are still at the top of the table and in a strong position to win. We will find out soon enough whether they will take home the $200,000 paycheck.
