Pebble Beach Pro Am 2017 purse: Winner’s payout up to
$1.2 million
$1.2 million
Playing golf on what is perhaps the most scenic golf course
in the world for millions of dollars is not a bad job. We know professional
golfers have it pretty good, and this week’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am is
the most instant reminder.

The Pebble Pro Am is a more relaxed PGA Tour event, with
amateur hacks playing each day with their regular touring pros as a holdover
vestige from what used to be known as the Bing Crosby Clambake. It was much
more of a party back then, but this is still an entirely different atmosphere
that many pros embrace as a nice change of pace for one week of the year. It’s
not an all-out party, however, and the perks that come from winning on the pro
side are some of the best of the season.

The 2017 purse at the Pebble Beach Pro Am is up to $7.2
million, a nice $200k bump from last year’s pot. The winner will earn a hefty
$1,296,000 payout, which is the biggest of the year so far and most lucrative
of the West Coast swing.

The player in line to win that check is one of those in the
field who might need it the least. Jordan Spieth started the final round with a
massive six-shot lead and while he hasn’t opened that up even more, it’s hard
to see anyone closing that gap to even make it interesting down the stretch.
Spieth just needs to avoid the massive blowup hole and he should cruise in with
a comfortable multi-shot win.

Spieth is just 23 years old and already has $28,522,902 in
career winnings, an astronomical amount. A FedExCup title to end that all-time
2015 season added a $10 million bonus check to his winnings and boosted his
earnings that season to about $22 million. This would be his ninth PGA Tour
win, joining Tiger Woods as the only other in the modern era to pile up that
many wins by this age.

His off-course earnings are also an enormous source of
income and not calculated into that $28.5M career earnings total. So he doesn’t
need the money and that’s not really the priority on this Sunday — getting a
win at a time where he’s said he’s probably hitting the ball better than he did
all of 2016 is the goal. But still, adding another $1-million-plus check while
playing arguably the most beautiful course on Tour is not bad work.
