Cameron Young<\/a> is playing a blinder on the final day of The Players Championship<\/a> 2026 and he’s likely to add a healthy sum of money to his career earnings.<\/p>\n

Having been three strokes behind Ludvig Aberg heading into Sunday, Young had work to do, but an impressive showing has him chasing down the new frontrunner Matt Fitzpatrick<\/a> on The Players Championship leaderboard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With a huge prize purse at The Players Championship, Young will bump his winnings total up significantly. And, he’s actually won a fair sum already despite only winning one PGA Tour event in his career.<\/p>\n

After being named PGA Tour Rookie of the Year in 2021-22, Young has taken his career from strength to strength and is currently sitting in 15th place on the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR).<\/p>\n

Way back in the 2018-19 season, he entered the US Open, but missed the cut after going nine-over-par through two rounds. It was a similar story in 2020-21, with Young failing to play the full weekend at the Farmers Insurance Open and the US Open once more.<\/p>\n

However, 2022 was a huge year for the American. He pulled in a total of $6,520,598 on the Tour circuit, which is largely due to securing an incredible five runner-up finishes. Young was T2 at Sanderson Farms Championship, earning $623,000, before getting a whopping $1.07m for another T2 at The Genesis Invitational.<\/p>\n

In April and May of 2022, Young was tied for third at the RBC Heritage and the PGA Championship, while another T2 at Wells Fargo helped add another $1.88m to his tally from those three events. Another $1.45m came his way in the summer, with a solo second place at The Open Championship.<\/p>\n

2023 was pretty good for Young, too, albeit not quite as profitable. He earned $5,392,961 in total, with a huge $2.2m coming from a solo second-placed finish at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play.<\/p>\n

Admittedly, Young’s earnings decreased each year since that massive breakthrough season.<\/p>\n

In 2024, he won $4,057,224 in total. A solo second at the Valspar Championship contributed $915,600 to that sum, while two T9 finishes at The Masters and the Travelers Championship added over $500,000 apiece.<\/p>\n

What to read next<\/p>\n

It’s worth noting, though, that Young also won roughly $595,431 (after converting from Euros at the current exchange rate) at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic that year, too.<\/p>\n

But, he well and truly bounced back in 2025, and even picked up his first win on the PGA Tour. Young won the Wyndham Championship in August of last year to earn $1.48m, while a tie for fourth at the Tour Championship was very fruitful indeed, adding another $2.62m to his year’s tally. Young ended 2025 with $8,789,813 in winnings.<\/p>\n

So far in 2026, Young has earned another $1,971,920. He was T3 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational last weekend, which won him a cool $1.2m.<\/p>\n

Overall in his career, Young has won $26,732,516 on the PGA Tour, plus a further $595,431 on the DP World Tour. Now, we just have to wait and see how much he can add at TPC Sawgrass.<\/p>\n

Solo second at The Players Championship wins<\/a> you $2.75m, while a victory would add $4.5m.<\/p>\n
