Tour pros are playing for an extra prize these next 2 weeks
**Tour pros playing for an extra prize these next 2 weeks**
Beginning with the Travelers Championship this week, and running through the following week’s Rocket Mortgage Classic, all PGA Tour players will be competing for an additional $500,000 prize if they can win both events. The bonus is being offered by Rocket Mortgage, the title sponsor of the second event.
This is the first time that the PGA Tour has offered a bonus for winning consecutive events since 2019, when Rory McIlroy won both the Canadian Open and the John Deere Classic.
“We’re excited to offer this bonus to the players,” said Rocket Mortgage CEO Jay Farner. “We think it will add an extra level of excitement to these two great tournaments.”
The bonus is open to all PGA Tour members, regardless of their world ranking or FedEx Cup standing. The player who wins both events will receive the $500,000 bonus in addition to the winner’s share of the purse for each event.
