The American Express Prize Money Payout 2025

Nick Dunlap speaks into a microphone after his American Express victory.

After a fortnight in Hawaii, the PGA Tour heads back to mainland America and The American Express, a tournament that takes place over three courses.

In 2024, Nick Dunlap made history as he became the first amateur since 1991 to win on the PGA Tour, with the American finishing 29-under-par, one stroke clear of South African Christiaan Bezuidenhout.

Played over three courses in La Quinta, California, players will tackle the Pete Dye Stadium Course, La Quinta Country Club and the Nicklaus Tournament Course, as they search for the $1.53 million first prize.

Returning for 2025 is Dunlap and, despite World No.1 Scottie Scheffler pulling out of the event due to injury, there are still a number of big names present for the third tournament of the season.

Amongst them are Patrick Cantlay, Justin Thomas, Wyndham Clark and Rickie Fowler, as well as a number of former Major winners and Ryder Cuppers.

With an $8.5 million tournament purse available, there is also the matter of 500 FedEx Cup points and various exemptions so, at The American Express, there is a lot up for grabs.

Check out the full prize money payout for the 2025 American Express below.
