The 2025 Kornferry Tour has teed off from January 12 with the Bahamas Golf Classic at Atlantis Paradise Island. Hank Lebioda took home the first title, pocketing the prize money of $180000. Since then, various aspiring golfers have won different titles on the Kornferry Tour, and now we have the 13th event in the schedule, the UNC Health Championship, happening at the Raleigh Country Club in Raleigh. The tournament will conclude in October, with the last of the series, the Korn Ferry Tour Championship, held at the Pete Dye Course at French Lick Resort in Indiana. Well, what will the winner of the UNC Health Championship take home?
Despite the heavy paycheck, the winner would receive 500 Kornferry points, pushing the rank of the winning player up the ladder. Additionally, an estimated points of up to 16.5 points will be added to the OWGR. However, all these benefits come with their own price. The Raleigh Country Golf Club is designed by the greatest golf course architect, Donald Ross. The course, which expands to 6869 yards, is said to be one of the most challenging golf courses. Before we dive deeper into the tournament results, let’s have a look at the prize money breakdown.
2025 UNC Health Championship Prize Money breakdown:
Unlike the prize money of $135000 given to Davis Thompson in 2022, this year the winner’s purse is much higher. The winner takes home a lump sum of $180000 along with the 500 Kornferry points. Well, isn’t that a catch? The runner-up of the tournament will receive half of the winner’s purse, i.e., $90000. He will also get 300 points for his performance. The cut will only permit 65 players to move to the next two days, and the last to make the cut will leave home with $4000. Let’s take a look at the prize breakdown in detail:
