The field may have been small at the 2025 Genesis Invitational, but the top prize was as big as ever. The largest winner’s check of the PGA Tour’s young season will be written to Ludvig Åberg, who scored four birdies over his last six holes and went bogey-free across his final 13 on Sunday to capture the biggest win of his career at Torrey Pines Golf Club for the third signature event of the year.
While the first two signature events — The Sentry and AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am — each awarded $3.6 million to their winners, the Genesis Invitational will shell out $4 million to Åberg given its designation as a player invitational alongside the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Memorial.
Here are your three winners from signature events this season:
- The Sentry: Hideki Matsuyama ($3.6 million)
- Pebble Beach Pro Am: Rory McIlroy ($3.6 million)
- Genesis Invitational: Ludvig Åberg ($4 million)
While Åberg will take away $4 million from the $20 million purse, those players who did make their way into the winner’s circle by week’s end are still being handsomely rewarded. The top four placements clear seven figures for their play in San Diego, while those inside the top 11 all collect north of $500,000.
Let’s take a look at the payout list for the 2025 Genesis Invitational through the 70 players at Torrey Pines, broken down for the top 10 on the final leaderboard.
