Players Championship 2018 Payout: Breaking Down Prize Money Purse Distribution

The 2018 Players Championship will see a record purse on offer with a total of $11 million on the line for the contenders at TPC Sawgrass in Florida.

The winner is set to take home 18 per cent of the total prize money which comes to a rather tidy sum of $1.98 million, that's the same amount as Patrick Reed pocketed for winning the 2018 Masters.

The runner-up will not do too badly either as they will depart the tournament $1.188 million richer, according to Golf Digest.

Here's a look at the payouts on offer at this year's tournament.
