The first senior Major of the year has seen the world\u2019s best over 50s competing at The Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Florida.<\/p>\n

A year ago, Angel Cabrera<\/a> won by one to claim his second senior Major title and prize money of $540,000 from the $3m purse.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There won\u2019t be a repeat of that outcome this year, though, with the star having missed the cut following rounds of 81 and 72 to finish on nine over.<\/p>\n

Instead, at the halfway stage, Scott Hend and Brian Gay shared the lead on 10 under, with Retief Goosen, Stewart Cink and Ben Crane well in contention on eight under.<\/p>\n

Once again, the purse for the tournament will be $3m, with the player who lifts the Alfred S. Bourne Trophy earning the same as Cabrera a year ago, $540,000, which is 18% of the overall purse.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s more than the 15% of the prize money typically awarded to the winner of PGA Tour Champions events. The largest payout in the events leading up to the Major was $2.2m, with the winner earning $330,000 on each of the four occasions that has been the overall purse so far.<\/p>\n

A big name who will be hoping to put themselves in the running for the first prize towards the end of the 72-hole event is Henrik Stenson.<\/p>\n

The Swede is making his senior debut<\/a> at the event and his first start since being relegated by LIV Golf after the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

Another former LIV Golfer, Pat Perez<\/a>, also made it into the weekend, along with former winners Steven Alker and Bernhard Langer.<\/p>\n

Even those who missed the cut still receive some compensation for their efforts, with everyone who failed to make it to the weekend earning $1,000.<\/p>\n

Below is the maximum prize money payout for the top 70 at the Senior PGA Championship before ties are taken into account.<\/p>\n
