The ongoing CJ Cup 2022 is quickly approaching its conclusion. The tournament, which began on October 20, 2022, will conclude today with the completion of the running 4th round. So, let us take a look at the prize money and its distribution breakdown of the popular PGA Tour event.
Sanctioned under the PGA Tour, CJ Cup was first established in 2017. Since then, the annual event has been held regularly. The tournament is played with a stroke play format over 71 par. Every year, 78 golfers join the event to compete against each other.
This year’s CJ cup was held at the Congaree Golf Club in Congaree, Hilton Head. Running for 4 days, the event is currently holding its final round. The event features popular international players such as Aaron Wise, Kurt Kitayama, Tommy Fleetwood, and many others. In addition, defending champion Rory McIlroy is present atop the scoreboard.
Let us have a look at The CJ Cup 2022 Purse & prize money distribution details of the ongoing PGA Tour event.
The CJ Cup 2022 Purse:
The prize fund for this year’s CJ Cup is $10.5 million. It signifies a rise of 7.15% over last year’s prize pool of $9,750,000. However, the increase is not substantial. Nonetheless, each placement in the ongoing tournament is expected to get a raise over their given prize money.
This year’s winner will get $1.89 million in prize money. It amounts to 18% of the total purse for the tournament. Last year, the defending winner, Rory McIlroy, received $1.755 million in prize money.
Additionally, the second and third-place finishers will receive $1.134 million and $714k, respectively, this year. In comparison, Collin Morikawa, last year’s runner-up, won $1.053 million in prize money. Keith Mitchell and Rickie Fowler, who shared the third position, each won $565,500. This represents a sharp increase in prize money over last year.
Every participant in the CJ Cup will receive a share of the cash, just like last year. As a result, the 76th placement holder will receive $17,220. While the 77th and 78th slots are set at $17,010 and $16,800, respectively.
