Genesis Invitational Purse: Winner’s Payouts Up 11% From 2023
The signature events look a little different this year. While the purse is still valued at $20 million, payouts near the top of the leaderboard increased in 2024. The winner is set to take home $4 million, which is an 11% increase from last year. It will mark the fourth consecutive year that the winner’s share has increased at the Genesis Invitational.
Since the top 50 will only make the cut, the purse is divided differently this year favoring the top-placed finishers with each player in the top four guaranteed at least $1 million.
