After all the action at the Detroit Golf Club during the 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic, the 2021-22 PGA TOUR season moves on to the next event, this time at Sedgefield Country Club down in Greensboro, North Carolina. Read more about how the prizes will be broken down in this tournament below.
The 2022 Wyndham Championship will have a much richer total payout than last year’s edition of this tournament. In 2021, the purse at the Wyndham Championship was $6.4 million. Now, it’s at $7.3 million, with the winner pocketing $1.314 million. For a little bit more context, when the very first edition of this tournament was played in 1938 – when it was still called the Greater Greensboro Open – the payout was just $5,000, with winner Sam Snead taking him $1,200. Factoring in inflation, $5,000 in 1938 is worth $94,391 in 2022 and $1,200 now $22,654.
