2024 BMW Championship prize money payouts for each PGA Tour player at Castle Pines

Bradley making the BMW field turned out to be worth $3.6 million.

What a week it was for Keegan Bradley in Colorado.

He was the last man in the 50-player field at the 2024 BMW Championship at Castle Pines Golf Club. He’s leaving with the trophy.

Bradley secured his seventh PGA Tour victory Sunday, shooting even-par 72 to win by one shots over Ludvig Aberg, Adam Scott and Sam Burns. It’s Bradley’s first win since the 2023 Travelers Championship and is a big key for him moving forward if he wants to earn a spot on the 2024 U.S. Presidents Cup team, where he is already an assistant captain.

For his win, Bradley will take home $3.6 million from the $20 million purse. And he’s not the only one going home with a lot of money.

Here’s a look at how much each of the players in the 50-man field with no cut earned at Castle Pines.

Watch: Rory McIlroy takes shoes off, hits laser with feet in creek after snapping driver at BMW Championship

It was a wild two-shot sequence for McIlroy.

It was a wild two-shot sequence for Rory McIlroy on Sunday. One you’ll have to see to believe.

The World No. 3 hit a wayward tee shot on the par-4 ninth during the final round of the 2024 BMW Championship, and his ball came to rest on the bank just above a creek that meanders down the right side of the fairway. As McIlroy leaned on his driver to bend and grab his tee, his shaft snapped.

Down a club, McIlroy got to his ball and began to take off his shoes and then socks. He stepped in the creek and took a few different practice swings while adjusting his feet in the water and then on and around some rocks. He then took a swing, and what would you know, he hit a laser than landed right over the flag.

The birdie putt came up just a couple rolls short, leaving him with an easy par.

Who had the iconic milkshake first: Muirfield Village or Castle Pines? Tom Watson settles the score

Leave it to World Golf Hall of Fame member Tom Watson to break the tie.

CASTLE ROCK, Colo. — Jack Nicklaus designed both Muirfield Village Golf Club and Castle Pines Golf Club. He argues that Muirfield Village, his home course in Dublin, Ohio, was first to make the iconic milkshake a clubhouse treat. George Solich, the general chairman at Castle Pines, says hold on one second, we made the milkshake a thing during the PGA Tour’s 21-year fixture as the home of the International. Leave it to World Golf Hall of Fame member Tom Watson to break the tie.

“Tom Watson says, ‘Let’s just set the record straight. Jack thinks they were there first. They weren’t. They were here first because these were really good milkshakes,’ ” Solich recounted the story.

“Muirfield, they made it with soft serve. We did ours with Haagen Dazs,” Solich added, noting that the rich, velvety ice cream is the secret ingredient inside the Hamilton Beach shake mixer. During the Tour’s annual stop at the Memorial, Muirfield Village’s clubhouse now uses Haagen-Dazs too. “So they started here. It’s a fun little thing to have, something that we are famous for, milkshakes.”

According to an Associated Press story, legend has it the International’s Haagen-Dazs bill reached $17,000, as players and their guests took down Castle Pines’ famed chocolate milkshakes faster than they could scoop it. On Wednesday, at one the concession stands, where the shakes are also available, they ran out of ice cream around 2 p.m. MT.

Chocolate is the most popular flavor of the super-creamy milkshakes but other options include strawberry and vanilla, as well as the favorites of a sweet tooth: peanut butter, heath bar and dreamsicle. Adults can enjoy strawberry reposado and banana rum, with additions like ginger snaps and their own baked chocolate chips.

“We expect to go through 70 gallons of vanilla ice cream a day making shakes – just in the clubhouse,” said Castle Pines executive chef Travis Teague.
