2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic prize money payouts for each PGA Tour player at Detroit Golf Club

Aussie Cam Davis made more money in four days in Detroit than he had made in his previous 16 PGA Tour starts this season.
Davis, 29, closed in 70 and won the Rocket Mortgage Classic for the second time in his career. In doing so, he took home $1.656 million from a purse of $9.2 million. Davis hadn’t recorded a top-10 finish all season. His best result was a T-12 at the Masters in April. His season earnings soared to $3,061,884.
Akshay Bhatia was the hard-luck loser after missing a 5-foot par putt at 18. If it’s any consolation, the 22-year-old surpassed $8 million in career earnings, which is making his decision to skip college look like a wise one.
Aaron Rai, a 54-hole co-leader, settled for T-3 but passed Jack Nicklaus ($5,734,031) on the career money list. Among those at T-3 was 25-year-old Aussie Min Woo Lee, who crossed $5 million in career earnings.
Cameron Young (73) cracked the shaft of his driver in anger on the 14th hole and settled for a T-6 finish. It wasn’t all bad news for Young, who is still seeking his first Tour title. He did pass major winners Steve Elkington, Corey Pavin and Bob Tway on the career money list as he neared $16 million in earnings.
