We’re only a few days away from the start of the AT&T Byron Nelson and excitement is definitely building for the start of this lucrative PGA Tour event. It’s bound to be one blockbuster event, with seven of the world’s top 20 golfers competing in this week’s tournament, including two-time major winner Jordan Spieth.
Considering that the AT&T Byron Nelson is one of the most prestigious tournaments on the PGA Tour calendar, it stands to reason that this golf event is bound to reward its participants in a more handsome manner than the other tour stops on schedule. Exactly how much cash is at stake in Dallas this week? Let’s all find out below.
And for an in-depth look at the upcoming action on the greens, check out our complete preview and sleeper picks for the AT&T Byron Nelson right after this.
There is money to be made in Las Colinas. The AT&T Byron Nelson boasts a total purse of $7.3 million, with a hefty $1.314 million of that prize going to the eventual winner. That’s outstanding news for the 156-man field considering the total payout last year amounted to only $7.1 million.
To put into perspective the difference in prize money, defending champion Steven Bowditch earned $1.278 million in this tournament last year. That’s $36,000 less than the amount the Byron Nelson champion will receive this year. Finishing second in this event ain’t bad either with the runner-up receiving a cash payout of $788,400. On the other end of the leaderboard, the 70th or so golfer to make the cut this week will earn around $14,600.
