Shell Houston Open 2017 purse: Winner will take home $1.26 million
How to brighten a rainy, dreary day in Houston? A million-dollar-plus winner’s check will certainly help.

Wondering why your TV broadcast is well behind? Tape delay season is back and you can thank the forecast. Rains and severe weather in the forecast pushed up final round tee times on Sunday at the Golf Club of Houston, but that won’t be any matter to the winner.

Here’s the full purse breakdown — we’ll update amounts with ties when results go final:
