The inaugural Biltmore Championship Asheville will crown its first winner Sunday, and there’s a significant payday waiting at the finish line.
The winner at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove will take home $900,000, the largest share of the tournament’s $5 million purse. Second place pays $545,000, while the golfer finishing third will earn $345,000.
The money isn’t the only thing at stake in the final round.
PGA Tour rookie Neal Shipley enters Sunday with a chance to win his first career title. Shipley, a former U.S. Amateur runner-up, will play in the final grouping alongside Ben Kohles and Eric Cole.
Kohles and Cole are also seeking their first PGA Tour victories, setting up a potentially career-changing afternoon for the final trio.
They’ll have plenty of competition behind them. 2026 PGA Tour winners Jacob Bridgeman and Jackson Koivun are among the players still in position to make a run at the title.
