2023 BMW Championship purse, prize money: Payout for each ...

The field may be trimmed to 50 players, but the purse at the 2023 BMW Championship remains the same as other elevated events with $20 million being up for grabs at Olympia Fields this week. Representing the same dollar amount as the St. Jude Championship, the BMW Championship's purse will allow players to line their pockets while hopefully lining the fairways around the difficult par 70.

The winner's share comes in at $3,600,000, the same dollar amount as full-field designated events in 2023. Those who finish inside the top 11 will cash north of $500,000 each with all players inside the top 40 collecting at least six figures.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will need a top-five finish if he is to surpass the $20 million mark. To put Scheffler's season into context, Tiger Woods' on-course earnings for his entire career is slightly north of $120 million.

Scheffler is one of six players to earn more than $10 million this season with two-time defending BMW Championship winner Patrick Cantlay bringing up the rear of this group that includes Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy and Wyndham Clark. Still without a victory this season, Cantlay has made a smidge more than $10 million this campaign and has eyes on adding to this total.
