John Deere Classic 2021: Complete Breakdown of the Prize Money From Winner to Last-Place

The PGA Tour is currently underway at Silvis, Illinois, for the John Deere Classic. The tournament is making a comeback to the PGA Tour after a year. John Deere Classic was suspended last year due to Covid-19. The TPC Deere Run is the host of the tournament, but this year the field is deprived of star players as most of the top-ranked golfers are playing at the Scottish Open or preparing for the British Open.

The field is led by Kevin Na, Sungjae Im, and Steve Stricker. So this provides an opportunity for plenty of other pros to make a move in the FedExCup rankings. Moreover, there is a decent prize money purse for this event. So here’s everything you need to know about the prize money and winner’s payout for the 2021 John Deere Classic.

The total prize money for the 2021 John Deere Classic is $6.2 million. And it is the standard 18% payout according to the PGA Tour prize money distribution chart. All the players in the field are fighting to get the highest share from the total purse of $6.2million. The players who make the cut will get their share from the total purse based on their rank.

Similar to every sporting event, the winning player will receive the highest share of the total purse. So here’s how the distribution will work. The winner will get $1,116,000 from the total purse of $6.2 million. And additionally, apart from the monetary benefit, the winner will also receive 28 OWGR points and 500 FedEx Cup points.

Moreover, the winner will also get a two-season exemption at the PGA Tour and, most importantly, a place in the 2022 Masters and 2022 PGA Championship, as well as next year’s Sentry Tournament of Champions.

Here is the payout that will be given to the Top 5 leaderboard positions at the end of four rounds at the TPC Deere Run:
