No matter what name the PGA Tour’s stop in Palm Springs, Calif., has taken over the years—the Desert Classic, the Bob Hope, the Humana, the CareerBuilder and now the American Express—the secret to winning lots of prize money has been no real secret at all. You have to make birdies—lots and lots and lots of birdies. Since the tournament went to a more traditional four-round format in 2012, the worst winning score has been 20 under par. And from 1991 to 2011, when the event was held over five rounds, only one time was the winning total worse than 23 under par.

More of the same was needed on Sunday as the leaders, Andrew Landry and Scottie Scheffler, entering the final round were already at 21 under. The 74 players who remained after they make the cut on Saturday night (to accommodate the three courses used for the first three days) competed for a total prize money purse of $6.7 million with Landry earning $1.206 million for the victory, the second of his tour career.

Here’s is the prize money payout for everyone in the field.
