Aaron Rai emerged victorious at the PGA Championship held at Aronimink Golf Club, claiming a winner's check of $3.69 million from a record-setting purse of $20.5 million. This year's purse marks a significant increase from last year's $19 million, reflecting the growing competitiveness in golf, especially with the rise of LIV Golf. Rai's win is particularly remarkable as it adds to his previous PGA Tour victory at the 2024 Wyndham Championship, raising his total career earnings to over $16 million. Rai's performance was a standout, as he managed to outplay several prominent names in the sport. The second-place finisher received $1.99 million, and third place earned $1.26 million, showcasing the substantial financial rewards available in the tournament. Additionally, it is common for caddies on the PGA Tour to receive a portion of their golfer's winnings, typically around 10%, which means Rai's caddie could earn approximately $369,000 from this championship.
