00:00 Sports Press Rick Harrell's your daily numbers game in a boardroom outside of Louisville.
00:05 And this is where it all happened in May, the Kentucky Derby and then an incredible,
00:11 not to be believed, PGA Championship. Congratulations, Xander Shoffley. That's a
00:16 side story. Scotty Scheffler still the leading money winner on tour, $18.7 million, including
00:22 his stint in a jail cell, which will be a distant memory soon, but an incredible issue.
00:28 Joaquin Neiman, by the way, by contrast, leads live at over $11 million. The prize money for
00:35 the event itself, about $18.5 million, $3.33 million for Xander as the winner. And by the way,
00:42 the 13 elevated major or signature events for the tour, total less prize money for this event
00:50 relative to all 13 of them, and a little less than the Masters and the other majors. But you win
00:56 this tournament because of the pride, not the money.
