Nice work if you can get it: Players prize money breakdown

It's the biggest purse in world golf and after watching the players go through the grinder all weekend you can't help but think they earned every cent.

One of the greatest Players Championships of all time was eventually won by Rory McIlroy but Fleetwood and Furyk pushed him hard till the end. As did Eddie Pepperell whose stunning final round 66 saw him tie for 3rd place and bag a whopping $725,000.00. Nice.
