The BMW PGA Championship produced some exceptional golf at a picture-perfect Wentworth.

One of the best fields of the season gave the tens of thousands who attended full value for their money.

It culminated in a thrilling final round that saw the lead change hands several times before JJ Spaun emerged the winner.

To achieve victory in his maiden appearance at the DP World Tour's flagship event, Spaun saw off contenders including Aaron Rai, Adam Scott and Rory McIlroy.

After setting the clubhouse target of 17-under-par, his victory was still far from certain, but when Manuel Elvira made a double-bogey at the 18th, it handed Spaun the title and the winner's paycheck.

A $9m purse was shared out among those who made the cut.

Spaun banked $1.53m for his victory before various factors reduce how much they ultimately end up seeing in their bank account.

Below is the prize money payout for each player who made the cut in Euros.
