**PGA Championship Offers Record $19 Million Purse at Quail Hollow**

CHARLOTTE, NC – The PGA Championship is heating up at Quail Hollow Club, with players vying not only for the prestigious Wanamaker Trophy but also a record-breaking $19 million purse. The PGA of America announced the substantial prize pool, with the champion set to pocket a cool $3.42 million.

This year’s purse is among the largest on the PGA Tour, rivaling the $21 million offered at The Masters. Last year, Xander Schauffele took home $3.3 million from an $18.5 million purse.

As of Saturday, Jhonattan Vegas leads the field at 8-under, making him the first Venezuelan man to lead a major championship. Scottie Scheffler is in contention three shots back, while Matthieu Pavon, Matt Fitzpatrick, Si Woo Kim, and Max Homa are also in the hunt.
