CJ Cup Byron Nelson prize money
How much does each PGA Tour star take home from TPC Craig Ranch?
The CJ Cup Byron Nelson has had somewhat of a rebrand in 2024. The tournament used to be called the AT&T Byron Nelson and the HP Byron Nelson Championship before that.
Jason Day won the event for the second time last year, beating Austin Eckroat and Si Woo Kim by one shot. He won it for the first time back in 2010.
Day is one of the headline acts this week at TPC Craig Ranch, lining up with the likes of Jordan Spieth, Min Woo Lee, Adam Scott, Tom Kim and Bob MacIntyre.
The overall purse has remained unchanged since 2023. It is $9.5 million and the winner will bank a cool $1,710,000, while the runner-up will also cash seven figures.
We are just two weeks out from the PGA Championship now, with just the Wells Fargo Championship separating this week and the second major of the year at Valhalla.
Without further delay, here is the prize money breakdown of the 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson.
