The Arnold Palmer Invitational wrapped up Sunday evening, with the best golfers in the world all playing for a piece of the $20 million pie. It's a Signature Event, which means there aren't as many players and there are even fewer cuts. It makes for an exciting sport, especially when the winner gets to take home $4 million.
That winner ended up being Scottie Scheffler. The golfer was tied for the lead going into the fourth round before showcasing exactly why he's the top-ranked professional in the world. He put together a smooth final round while some other contenders stumbled ever so slightly and he added another victory to his impressive career.
It resulted in that aforementioned paycheck of $4 million. He took home the biggest portion of the event's winnings, but there was still plenty more to go around. Here's who took home what.

Even though it wasn't for a big paycheck and was an overall mediocre performance, Rory McIlroy still earned over $220 thousand. Following a historic shot over the weekend, he initially positioned himself well to secure a high place but stumbled during the opening round.
Byeong-Hun An charged up the leaderboard on Sunday, posting a very nice showing and earning a significantly better paycheck when it was all said and done. The same can be said for Justin Thomas.
Nicolai Hojgaard, Adam Scott, Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, Matt Fitzpatrick and a few others did not make the cut, so they did not earn any portion of the $20 million that was up for grabs.
