After the unique team event the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, this week’s PGA Tour event has a far more familiar format as players compete over 72 holes of strokeplay at the CJ Cup Bryon Nelson.
The tournament, which is held at TPC Craig Ranch, is not one of the PGA Tour’s signature events, but there is still an attractive prize money payout available, with $9.9m on the table, an increase of $400,000 on the 2024 edition.
On that occasion, Taylor Pendrith beat Ben Kohles by one for his maiden PGA Tour title, earning him $1.71m, but this week’s winner will take home $1.782m.
Other incentives include FedEx Cup points, with 500 available to this week’s winner as players continue their season-long battle for places in the lucrative FedEx Cup Playoffs.
Check out the prize money payout for the CJ Cup Byron Nelson.
