Coming down the stretch, it looked like Scottie Scheffler, Ludvig Åberg or Maverick McNealy could take the Genesis Invitational. While McNealy was on the range preparing for a potential playoff, Åberg clinched the win with a birdie on 18. His second career victory on the PGA Tour came with a $4 million paycheck.
The prize pool for the Genesis Invitational was $20 million dollars with four players earning more than $1 million.

$300K in 1975 when adjusted for inflation is $1.76 million in 2025, divide that by 5 events = $352,000 per event.
$40,000 adjusted is $235,000
