Apart from the prize money, the winner of the Valspar Championship will also earn several perks, including the 500 FedEx Cup and 80 Official World Golf Ranking points, based on the field strength. The champion will earn a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour and an exemption into next year's Tournament of Champions.

It is pertinent to note that the event’s $8.1 million prize purse is significantly low compared to the Players Championship's record-setting purse of $25 million. The event was headlined by the likes of Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler, and Rory McIlroy, among others, with the winner receiving a whopping $4.5 million. However, most top names have decided to use this week to rest ahead of the upcoming Masters.
