Bob Hope Classic Total Purse: Up to $1 million
If exactly 70 professionals make the 36-hole cut, the total official purse will be $5,000,000. If more than 70 professionals make the 36-hole cut, the PGA Tour will dip into a reserve fund in order to pay the extra players. This would push the total purse above $5,000,000. Payouts below 70th place would occur at a decreasing rate of $100 a place.
