Arnold Palmer Invitational purse, prize money: Payout for Scottie Scheffler, golfers from $20 million pool

Another signature event meant another big winner's check was up for grabs

The PGA Tour traveled to Bay Hill for the fourth signature event of the season, the 2024 Arnold Palmer Invitational, with a familiar name once again taking home the winner's check. Running away from the field for a five-stroke victory, Scottie Scheffler slipped on his second red cardigan in the last three years and claimed the $4 million top prize as part of the $20 million signature event purse. 

The $4 million winner's share was the same as the Genesis Invitational but exceeded the amount from The Sentry and the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, the two other signature events to take place this year. The win represents Scheffler's first on the PGA Tour since the 2023 Players Championship where he received a record $4.5 million. The world No. 1 is set to defend his title at TPC Sawgrass next week.

Scheffler may have been the only player to take home a trophy, but he was not the only to clear seven figures as Wyndham Clark collected $2.2 million for his runner-up performance. With a major championship and a pair of signature event titles under his belt, the American has been rewarded handsomely over the past year for his performance in big events.

Shane Lowry collected $1.4 million with his second straight quality tournament in Florida. The generous paydays did not stop there; they trickled down the leaderboard with everyone inside the top 36 receiving a check worth at least $100,000.

Let's take a look at the payout list for the 2024 Arnold Palmer Invitational for the 58 players who made the weekend at Bay Hill Club & Lodge.
