Aaron Rai has won the 108th PGA Championship, the first major victory of his career.
It came at a good time, too. The Wanamaker Trophy comes with a record, $20.5-milllion purse thanks to a $1.5-million boost from the PGA of America. The purse was $19 million a year ago at Quail Hollow.
Rai will walk away from Aronimink Golf Club with $3.69 million as the tournament’s winner.
Eighty-two players made the cut this week. Those who missed will receive a $4,300 stipend.
