The $25m (£20m) purse for the event is the largest in golf history. The winner will receive $4m (£3.2m), considerably more than the $2.7m (£2.2m) awarded to the recent winners of The Masters and PGA Championship - while every player is guaranteed at least $120,000 (£96,000) just for completing 54 holes.
