The 105th PGA Championship continues Sunday for the final round at Oak Hill Country Club. After 54 holes, Brooks Koepka at -6 holds a one-shot lead over Viktor Hovland and Corey Conners who check in at -5, with Bryson DeChambeau at -3.

The winner of the major will take home the coveted Wanamaker Trophy and earn $2.7 million of a total $15 million purse. The runner-up and third-place finisher will also earn over $1 million. This is a smaller purse than the Masters, which gives out with $18 million and sends the winner home with $3.24 million.

The winner of the PGA Championship also receives a lifetime exemption into the event, and five-year exemptions to the three other major tournaments. He will also earn a five-year PGA TOUR card, and get 100 OWGR points and 600 FedExCup points.

There’s also the history that comes with being a major winner, putting you as a part of golf history forever.
