Here's the prize money payout for each golfer at the 2021 Fortinet Championship - Golf Digest

Everybody is looking to begin the new PGA Tour season on a high note at the Fortinet Championship, but nobody is in need of a good start more than Jim Knous, who finds himself the very unlikely co-leader (along with Maverick McNealy) at Silverado Country Club in Napa, Calif.

Ranked 1,078 in the world and with just one top-10 finish to his credit in 24 career tour starts, the 31-year-old native of Littleton, Colo., played four times during the 2020-21 season, missing the cut in each appearance as he dealt with an injured right wrist that he says will never be 100 percent healed. Knous is playing this week on a Korn Ferry Tour Medical Extension and has just two starts remaining to earn enough FedEx Cup points to retain some status on tour.

The stakes then for Knous (pronounced Koh-NOUSE, hence the nickname “Jimmy Hard K”) are fairly clear. If he finishes in a two-way tie for third on Sunday, a six-way tie for second or win, he’d earn the 152.463 FedEx Cup points needed to move into the Major Medical Category for full PGA Tour status. A solo 12th, three-way tie for 11th or five-way tie for 10th or better would move him into the 126-150 category for conditional status on the PGA Tour.

The financial stakes are obvious, too. Knous, who has a civil engineering degree from the Colorado School of Mines, has earned $515,456 in his tour career, with his biggest paycheck coming, coincidentally, at Silverado when he finished T-10 in 2018 (earning $153,600). The winner on Sunday earns $1.26 million from an overall prize money payout of $7 million.

Of course, those around Knous on the leader board wish him well but have their own agendas at play. McNealy, coming off his best season on tour in 2020-21, is looking for his first tour victory. Two strokes back is a five-some of players, including rising talent Mito Pereira from Chile, Beau Hossler (who has only conditional status on tour this season) and two-time tour winner and California native Max Homa.

Here’s breakdown of prize money payouts for every player who makes the cut this week. Come back shortly after the tournament is over and we’ll update with individual names and prize money payouts.
