The prize fund for the 2015 Senior PGA Championship Presented by KitchenAid, from May 21-24 at French Lick (Indiana) Resort, has been increased to US$2.75 million
The oldest and most prestigious Championship in senior golf, which offered a $2.1 million purse in 2014, will now award the Champion $495,000, with second place receiving $297,000 and third place $187,000.
The Championship makes its first visit to the Pete Dye Course, which opened in 2009. It is the fourth Major Championship hosted by French Lick Resort, following the 1924 PGA Championship, which was played on the Donald Ross Course and won by Walter Hagen, and the 1959 and 1960 LPGA Championships. French Lick’s Pete Dye Course also hosted the 2010 PGA Professional National Championship.
“We’re pleased that the purse reflects the proud tradition of this major Championship and the outstanding field that it will attract,” said PGA President Derek Sprague. “We are excited to join a tremendous host site in counting down the days to another ‘Walk with History’ for what we believe will be one of our greatest Championships.”
The Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid marks its first visit to Indiana with an international 156-member field competing on the par-72, 7,147-yard Pete Dye Course, designed by its legendary namesake.
