The 2022 PGA Tour Championship marks the end of both the FedEx Cup playoffs and the 2021/22 PGA Tour season, and the top 30 ranked golfers in the FedEx Cup standings will have the honor of playing in this tournament, which provides both prestige and many financial prizes.
As it has been the custom since 2004, the event will be held at the East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia, with August 24 marking the start of a competition that will run through August 28 and will have a different format than other golf tournaments.
Top-ranked golfers after a long season will be rewarded with an advantage over the other competitors, as the higher they are ranked, the better it will be, with the first starting with a score of 10 under par, the second 8 under par, the third 7 under par, and so on.
However, the economic rewards will surely motivate them to fight to be at the top, and here at JefeBet we tell you in detail how much each golfer will earn based on their position.
Prize Money Breakdown for the 2022 PGA Tour Championship from August 24-28, 2022
It is important to mention that the winnings from this PGA Tour Championship are considered by the PGA as a “bonus”, so that they are not counted in the official earnings of golfers during their career.However, if this were the case, they would be enormously inflated, since the tournament is by far the one that awards the best prizes and quite rightly so, as it is quite complicated to reach this point in the campaign.
This edition of the PGA Tour Championship will distribute a total of $75 million dollars to its participants. This represents a monstrous 25% increase, or about $15 million compared to 2021, something that doesn’t hold a candle to other PGA Tour tournaments.
Patrick Cantlay, winner of the 2021 edition, took home a total of $15 million dollars,y if he wins again this year, the prize could be even greater, since the reward for winning the tournament in 2022 was set at a total of $18 million dollars,which represents an increase of exactly 20%.
However, from the first to the tenth place will be guaranteed to go home as millionaires, and JefeBet will show you the detailed list of prizes per position.
