Players Championship raises purse to $15 million. MORE:

The winner of March 12-15 event at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, will receive $2.7 million, nearly as much as Tiger Woods earned in his first two seasons as a pro.

“It's our flagship event,” Xander Schauffele said. “It needs to counterbalance the major championships, and it's putting a nice incentive out there. I'm not upset by it.” PGA Tour players privately grumbled a few years ago when the USGA signed a 10-year deal with Fox Sports worth a reported $1 billion while the U.S. Open purse featured only gradual increases.

The PGA Tour has no ownership in the four majors, which are organized by Augusta National, the PGA of America, the USGA and the R&A.
