Okay, so here’s the deal, I was messing around trying to figure out the prize money situation for the BMW PGA Championship. Figured it’d be cool to see how much the big winners are actually taking home, you know?
First, I started by just googling “BMW PGA Championship prize money”. Obvious, right? I scrolled through a bunch of sports news sites and official tournament pages. Lots of numbers being thrown around, which was exactly what I was after. I was trying to see if there was a pattern or if certain spots got massive payouts.
The trick was actually sifting through all the fluff and finding the actual prize breakdown. Some articles just talked about the total prize pool, which is cool and all, but I wanted the nitty-gritty details.
I spent like, maybe an hour just jumping between different sites. Some of them were outdated, which was a pain. I had to double-check the dates on everything to make sure I was looking at the most recent tournament.
Finally, I landed on a couple of sites that had pretty solid info. One had a breakdown of the top 10 or so, and another had a more complete list, though it was a little buried in the text. I ended up cross-referencing them to make sure the numbers matched up and I wasn’t getting any bogus info.
- I copy-pasted the prize money for each position (at least for the top finishers) into a simple text document.
- Then, I just organized it from first place down.
- After that, I was able to get the range of prize money.
It was a bit of a grind, but I got what I wanted. Now I have a better idea of what’s at stake when these guys are out there on the course. Pretty sweet payday for the winner, that’s for sure!
And honestly? It’s kinda fun digging through this kind of stuff. Makes you appreciate the sport a little more, seeing the business side of things.
