Boeing Classic Purse: $2.3 Million, $345,000 to Win
The published payout runs from $345,000 at the top to $1,150 in 78th. A no-cut format means the smallest line still belongs to a full three-round week, barring a withdrawal.

The smallest line in the published payout is $1,150. It belongs to 78th place, way down at the far end of a $2.3 million purse. First place pays $345,000. Between those numbers sits a three-day event with no scheduled 36-hole cut, which gives that last line a little dignity: it is payment for a full tournament week, barring a withdrawal, rather than a consolation after two rounds.

The top ten descend quickly
Golf News Net published the 2026 distribution on August 13. The winner's $345,000 is exactly 15 percent of the total purse. Second place pays $202,400, a drop of $142,600. By tenth, the amount is $59,800. These are scheduled shares by finish, not the names of final recipients; the tournament still has to settle that part on the course.
| Finish | Payout |
|---|---|
| 1 | $345,000 |
| 2 | $202,400 |
| 3 | $165,600 |
| 4 | $138,000 |
| 5 | $110,400 |
| 6 | $92,000 |
| 7 | $82,800 |
| 8 | $73,600 |
| 9 | $64,400 |
| 10 | $59,800 |
| 78 | $1,150 |
No cut changes what the last number means
The tournament's own information page confirms a 78-player, 54-hole, no-cut format. That does not guarantee 78 finishers because withdrawals can happen. It does mean there is no routine Saturday cut that removes half the field. The payout schedule can therefore reach all the way to 78th, and the official plan gives each entrant three rounds.
The same official facts call 2026 the 21st tournament and identify the competition as stroke play. That matters when reading the distribution: dollars attach to finishing places after 54 holes, not to wins and losses in a bracket. It is a ladder, long and unusually complete.
Results remain live until the final round ends on August 16. GolfPost's leaderboard tracks the changing order; the money table only translates the eventual places into dollars. Keeping those two jobs separate prevents a mid-round position from masquerading as a final check.
There is another ledger beside the purse
The competitive purse and the event's charitable record are different accounts. The organizer says the tournament has raised more than $12 million for Virginia Mason Franciscan Health and other local charities since 2005. Its named beneficiaries include Virginia Mason Franciscan Health and First Tee Greater Seattle. The Seattle Seahawks' June announcement gives the same cumulative figure.
A purse table naturally pulls the eye upward. This one is interesting at the other end, too. Seventy-eighth place has a specified amount, the field is scheduled for Sunday, and the last check is not blank. The champion's $345,000 will command the headline. The $1,150 line quietly explains the format.
