The Total Payout
There is money to be made in the Lone Star State. The AT&T Byron Nelson boasts a total purse of $7.5 million, with a hefty $1.35 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 $7.3 million.
To put into perspective the difference in prize money, defending champion Sergio Garcia (+1,200) earned $1.314 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 $810,000. On the other end of the leaderboard, the 70th or so golfer to make the cut this week will earn around $15,000.
