2024 Cognizant Classic money: Purse, payout breakdown, winner’s share

Believe it or not, it’s been a long time since Shane Lowry won on the PGA Tour.

In fact, Lowry is still searching for a follow-up stateside to his 2019 Open Championship win. He’s starred in the Ryder Cup and won the 2022 BMW PGA Championship on the DP World Tour, but has not won in the U.S. since the 2015 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.

But his best chance came at PGA National just two years ago when he was runner-up to Sepp Straka at the then-Honda Classic.

“I always say golf never owes you anything. I came up short that day. I’ve come up short before. I’ve been on the better end of things before,” Lowry said Saturday evening after the third round of the renamed Cognizant Classic. “You just go out there and do your best and what will be will be sort of thing.”

But yet, among those at the top of the leaderboard, Lowry has the most winning experience, by far. He’s joined at the top of the Cognizant Classic leaderboard by Austin Eckroat and David Skinns, who both have zero PGA Tour titles to their credit.

The trio was three clear of the field to start the final round Sunday, but Erik Van Rooyen had caught and passed them before they even teed off when play was suspended shortly before 1 p.m. Sunday.

“I’ve obviously played quite well over the last few days. I’ll take nothing for granted,” Lowry said. “I’ll prepare as best I can in the morning, do the same thing I’ve been doing all week, and go out there and give it myself, and if my best is good enough tomorrow, that will be amazing. If not, we’ll be back to the drawing board on Monday.”

What would also be amazing for Lowry is his share of the $9 million championship purse this week if he pulls off the win.
