Updated Purse and Prize Money Breakdown for the PGA Tour Genesis Open Running from February 16-19, 2023
The Genesis Open is important not only because it is one of the biggest competitions in the golf season, but because it is one of the most profitable tournaments on the entire circuit, second only to The Players Championship.
This year’s Genesis Invitational is expected to distribute a total of $20 million dollars to its participants, which once again demonstrates the importance that the event has begun to gain in recent editions. In 2021, the total prize was just $9.2 million, while in 2022 it was $12 million.
This is an improvement over the previous edition by 66.67%. Additionally, as the overall prize money rises, so does the winner’s income: the winner of the first place reward will take home $3.6 million for his bank account. In comparison, the 2022 champion only made $2,160,000.
