Here’s the prize money payout for each golfer at the 2024 American Express
History. Twenty-year-old Alabama sophomore Nick Dunlap got up and down for par on the 72nd hole Sunday at the American Express in California to become the first amateur to win a tour event since Phil Mickelson won the Northern Telecom Open in 1991. Dunlap shot 64-65-60-70 for a 29-under-par 259 total. He finished one shot ahead of Christiaan Bezuidenhout, who made a 12 footer for birdie on the last hole to finish solo second place, which gave him $1.512 million. That’s actually first-place money, as Dunlap is not allowed to collect because of his status.
“Honestly, I felt the script today was already written,” Dunlap said afterward. “I was going to go give it everything I had. Whether that’s I shoot 75 or 65 or 70, I just was going to give it everything I had.”
Other amateurs to win on the PGA Tour since 1945:
Amateurs to win on the PGA Tour since 1945
Phil Mickelson, 1991 Northern Telecom Open
Scott Verplank, 1985 Western Open
Doug Sanders, 1956 Canadian Open
Gene Littler, 1954 San Diego Open
Frank Stranahan, 1948 Miami Open, 1946 Fort Worth Invitational; 1946 Kansas City Invitational; 1945 Durham War Bond Tournament.
Fred Haas, 1945 Memphis Invitational
Cary Middlecoff, 1945 North and South Open
Dunlap now has plenty of decisions to make. If he turns pro and accepts PGA Tour membership he will earn spots in the remaining signature events this year, the Masters, the PGA Championship, and will have a card through the 2026 season, among other benefits. He will remain in the U.S. Open whether he turns professional or not.
