What does the PGA Championship winner receive? Money, exemptions and a massive trophy
Aaron Rai — with both hands needed — raised the Wanamaker Trophy Sunday at Aronimink Golf Club.
But does Rai get to keep it? And what else does he get?
The PGA champ receives a replica of the Wanamaker Trophy, which is only slightly smaller than the 28-inch tall, 27-inch wide, 27-pound primary model.
Rai also gets $3.69 million from the championship-record $20.5-million purse, 750 FedExCup points and 1.5 points for every $1,000 earned in relation to the Ryder Cup standings.
And there are a bevy of exemptions:
- Lifetime exemption into the PGA Championship;
- Five-year exemption into the Masters, U.S. Open, The Open and The Players;
- Five-year PGA Tour membership;
- Seven-year DP World Tour membership.
Aaron Rai has done the unthinkable and seized the Wanamaker Trophy at Aronimink Golf Club. Here’s how much Rai nets from his first major victory.
