2016 AT&T Byron Nelson Prize Money Breakdown

The Total Payout

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.
