Every week we can throw out a shocking statistic about the dramatic rise in the prizemoney payout on the PGA Tour. And while maybe that feels like a tired subject, we’ve got a number that involves the Wyndham Championship that we think is worth noodling. Here goes …

The PGA Tour’s stop in Greensboro, North Carolina, has been around since 1938 and has become synonymous with its all-time greatest winner, Sam Snead. The legendary Hall of Fame golfer won this event a record eight times, including a win in 1965 when he was 52. That gave him the record for oldest winner in PGA Tour history, a mark he still holds. Snead made 34 overall starts in Greensboro, and in addition to his eight victories, he had three runner-up finishes and six third-place showings. In total, Snead had 23 top-10s in the tournament and never missed a cut.

OK, so what’s our amazing stat? Well, for all that success, Snead’s overall prizemoney earned in the event was … $US59,051.98.

To put that in perspective, Snead ranks 375th on the tournament’s all-time money list before the tour dolls out $US6.2 million more for this week’s event. Sunday’s winner, J.T. Poston, grabbed $US1.116 million, or nearly 19 times as much as Snead earned his entire career at this event.

Additionally, anybody who finishes 24th or better on Sunday will earn more money than Snead won in his lifetime in Greensboro.

Anyway, here’s the prizemoney payout for the entire field this week:
