Here’s how much every player made 

The “Harry Potter” franchise was still going strong. Kesha was at the top of the charts. Barack Obama was several months into his presidency. 

And entering 2010, Rory McIlroy, now 25-time PGA Tour winner, was sitting at zero Tour wins — until he broke through in May of that year at what is now known as the Wells Fargo Championship.

So yeah, he said Saturday, the 14-year span kinda felt longer than that. The thought made him reflective Saturday night after his third round at this year’s event, where he was a stroke out of the lead entering Sunday’s final round. 

“Billy Mayfair was leading going into the final round,” McIlroy said “I played with Scott McCarron on this Saturday pretty early. Obviously played with A.K. [Anthony Kim] on Sunday, Phil [Mickelson] was up there, [Angel] Cabrera was up there. Yeah, lifetime ago.”

Then there’s this nugget:

McIlroy’s winner share in 2010 was $1.17 million. Should he win this year, he’ll bring home $3.6 mill. 

How the times have changed. 

With that, below you can check out the complete payout breakdown for this week’s Wells Fargo Championship, played at Quail Hollow Club. The total purse is $20 million.
