Wells Fargo Championship payout for the top five positions
There was no Wells Fargo Championship in 2019 due to the pandemic. The year before, in 2019, the tournament had a total prize pool of $7.9 million, and the organizers have increased it this year. That implies that the top positions will be awarded a higher payout.
The winner of the Wells Fargo Championship will receive $1.458 million from the total purse. It is the standard 18% stake that a champion gets for winning an event on the PGA Tour. The same does not apply to the rest of the field, unfortunately.
