Prize money for the 2022 Players Championship: Bonuses per golfer from a record $20 million total
It’s hard to overstate the size of the 2022 Players Championship wallet. At $20 million, that’s a $5 million increase over last year’s release and easily becomes a major individual event wallet. in the history of golf. It’s nearly double any of the four major championships, meaning there’s plenty to play with even if you don’t want to win Sunday afternoon at TPC Sawgrass.
To contextualize the substantial amount of this prize, the $3.6 million winner’s share is more than the career earnings of Lee Trevino (who won 29 events), Frank Nobilo, Sandy Lyle and Johnny Miller (who won 25 times). The player who finishes last after cutting will earn $43,000, roughly the same amount as Jack Nicklaus earned. win First Players Championship in 1974.
Everyone who finished in the top 36 this year had at least six numbers. The top 11 finishers will all win over $500,000. The top 36 will all get six-figure salaries. If that sounds epic, well, that’s exactly the way to describe it.
The only question at this point is when those payments will be processed. After inclement weather resulted in a total delay of 5 hours on Thursday, there’s a high chance The Players won’t finish until Monday afternoon.
