Players Championship stands every year as the most significant tournament on the PGA Tour's own schedule, and as such, it doles out the biggest purse to golfers. A total of $25 million was up grabs Sunday at TPC Sawgrass with players who made the cut grabbing a slice of the largest prize fund of the season.

Winning The Players Championship gave Rory McIlroy so much he doesn't need. The $4.5 million payoff went to a player closing in on $100 million for his career.
