How Much is the PGA Championship Prize Money In 2023?
Although definitive figures are yet to be divulged by tournament officials, it is safe to say the prize money for 2023’s edition will be of a similarly eye-watering amount to 2022.
The total purse for last year’s iteration was a record $15 million, and although it is unclear whether there will be another jump this year, that total was an increase of $3.5 million compared to 2021.
For the eventual winner, the $2.7 million payout moved it level with the US Open and the Open Championship last year, but still just half a million shy of the Masters which remains the most lucrative major.
How Does The 2023 Prize Money Compare To Previous PGA Championships?
The prize money for the PGA Championship has tripled since the turn of the century, which is indicative of the growing value of broadcasting rights and the ever-increasing profile and prestige of professional golf.
