The Honda Classic purse: Payout by player, finishing position
The Honda Classic is one of the PGA Tour’s most unique tests and here’s the purse and payout for each player at the event from PGA National.
The Honda Classic, because of its positioning between the Genesis Invitational and Arnold Palmer Invitational, can sometimes get overlooked because of the low strength of the field. However, the trip to PGA National is one of the most entertaining weeks on the PGA Tour with how volatile things could get at any moment.
Daniel Berger had firm control of The Honda Classic in 2022 and seemed well on his way to capturing the title comfortably heading into Sunday with a five-stroke lead that seemed insurmountable. But that’s what this course does that’s so special — no lead is safe.
Berger got off to a horrendous start that allowed Shane Lowry to tie him and then seemingly take full control. Yet, Sepp Straka kept charging and, with the undeniable help of some late heavy rain, Lowry couldn’t match a birdie on the 18th hole, thus making Straka the winner and the first Austrian to ever win on the PGA Tour.
The players in the field this week are playing for their share of the $8 million purse with Straka taking home the $1.44 million given to the winner. With that in mind, let’s check out the purse and payout breakdown for the tournament for every player who made the cut.

Again, this event doesn’t necessarily have the field or prestige of the Genesis or the API but the golf delivers every single time.
More importantly, the money won at The Honda Classic and the full allotment of FedExCup points that are also awarded to the players all count the same as well. Regardless, it’s a great opportunity for golf fans to become more familiar with some of the perhaps lesser-known commodities that could be names to watch throughout the rest of the 2021-22 PGA Tour season.
