The 2026 Travelers Championship came to a dramatic conclusion as Viktor Hovland defeated Scottie Scheffler in a Monday playoff to capture one of the PGA Tour’s biggest titles. The victory earned Hovland a winner’s cheque of $3.6 million from the tournament’s $20 million purse, while Scheffler collected $2.18 million after narrowly missing out on the trophy. As one of the PGA Tour’s Signature Events, the Travelers Championship once again featured one of the richest prize funds in professional golf, with every player in the 72-man field earning a share of the purse.
Collin Morikawa secured third place and took home $1.38 million, while Matt Fitzpatrick finished fourth to earn $980,000. Wyndham Clark and Akshay Bhatia shared fifth place, each collecting $772,500, while Corey Conners, Alex Fitzpatrick and J.J. Spaun tied for seventh to receive $628,333 apiece.
Further down the leaderboard, Robert MacIntyre and Ben Griffin each earned $525,000 after tying for 10th. Russell Henley and Sam Burns shared 12th place and received $445,000 each. Eight players, including Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay, Tommy Fleetwood, Hideki Matsuyama and Keegan Bradley, tied for 14th and each pocketed $315,000.
The prize money remained significant throughout the field, with even golfers finishing outside the top 50 earning more than $40,000 thanks to the event’s no-cut format. Below is the complete payout for every player who competed in the 2026 Travelers Championship.
