Here’s Everything the Winner of the PGA Championship Recieves

What the PGA Championship Winner Receives

Major championship exemption: The winner gets a five-year pass into all major championships for winning the PGA.

FedEx Cup: The winner gets 750 FedEx Cup points.

PGA TOUR Membership: The winner receives a five-year membership on the TOUR, plus a seven-year membership to the DP World Tour.

Champion’s Dinner: An invite to the annual Champion’s Dinner awaits the winner, too. Here’s what Schauffele served at his Tuesday night:
