The tournament, which the PGA Tour stylized as THE PLAYERS Championship, is the most important and one of its signature tournaments.

The 2025 Players Championship's purse history

The inaugural Tournament Players Championship in 1974 had a purse of $250,000, with the winner receiving $50,000. The purse remained unchanged the following year but began to expand in 1976, with a purse of $300,000 and a winner's share of $60,000.

It steadily increased, reaching $1 million in 1987, the same year the word "Tournament" was removed from the event's name. In 1992, the Players Championship had a purse of $1.8 million, which increased to $2.5 million in 1993.

Since then, it has grown rapidly, adding $1 million to $1.5 million per year. However, from 2008 until 2013, the purse stayed consistent at $9.5 million, with the winner receiving $1.7 million. In 2019, the purse reached $12.5 million, while the following year's event was canceled because of COVID-19.

The 2021 event featured a purse of $15 million, which increased dramatically to $20 million in 2022 and $25 million in 2023 after being promoted as a "Designated Event."
