Si Woo Kim entered the final round of The American Express on Sunday, Jan. 25, with a one-shot lead but right on his trail are 18-year-old Blades Brown and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, both tied for second at 21-under-par.
If Brown is able to overtake Kim and Scheffler, he would become the youngest PGA Tour winner in history – and take home a $1.656 million payout in the process. Scheffler is the current betting favorite and a victory for him would put him alongside Tiger Woods and Jack Nichlaus as the only golfers to win four majors and 20 PGA Tour events before turning 30.
But don’t count out Wyndham Clark, either. The 2023 U.S. Open winner sits just two shots behind Kim.
Here’s what every golfer in the tournament will earn based on their finish:
