The 2013 PGA Championship is in the books, a new star has been born and the unexpected has transpired once again. Jason Dufner won the event at 10-under par, countless superstars were rendered as virtual non-factors and the shape of the PGA Tour was altered once again.

The question is, how was the money handed out to golf's top superstars?

With his victory, Dufner secured the top prize and took home $1,445,000 in earnings. Second-place finisher Jim Furyk finished at 8-under par and earned $865,000, and Henrik Stenson took home $545,000 after putting up a 7-under performance for third place.

Here's how the rest of the world's superstars fared financially.

Rory McIlroy (-3, $206,250)



Rory McIlroy may be struggling over the past two years, but if there's one event we know he'll shine at, it's the PGA Championship. He won the event in 2012 and finished in a tie for third place in both 2009 and 2010.

This time around, McIlroy cracked the top 10 with a 3-under par finish.

With his performance, McIlroy earned $206,250 and snapped his streak of dreadful performances. Starting with an opening-round 69, McIlroy set the stage and used a third-round 67 to build up a strong enough performance to earn in the six-figure range.

It's about time.

McIlroy, 24, missed the cut at the 2013 Open Championship and earned $37,324 with a 14-over performance at the U.S. Open. At the Masters, he failed to break even and made $56,040.

When you make more at one major tournament than you had at your previous three combined, you've broken out of a funk.
