RBC Canadian Open purse: Payout by player, finishing position

Breaking down the RBC Canadian Open payout for the 2022 tournament at St. George’s Golf & Country Club to see the prize money each player will receive.

Though the focus of the golfing world seemed to be on the worldwide drama, a national open should’ve been getting more focus with the tournament that was playing out at St. George’s Golf & Country Club just outside of Toronto for the RBC Canadian Open.

Not only was this the first time that we’d seen the championship played since 2019 due to the pandemic, but the leaderboard that emerged on the weekend was unreal. On Sunday, Rory McIlroy, Tony Finau and Justin Thomas were grouped together in the final group with the likes of Sam Burns, Matt Fitzpatrick and other heavy hitters on their heels.

Especially when compared to the LIV Golf tournament in London, these players were certainly competing for something more than money. With that said, though, they all wouldn’t hate getting the $1.566 million winner’s share of the $8.7 million purse at this tournament.

But how much does each player who made the cut receive? Let’s take a look at how the RBC Canadian Open payout breaks down.

While this might not be the money that was handed out across the pond in LIV Golf’s first tournament, the fact of the matter is that this means more. With the history of a national open, the stakes for the rest of the PGA Tour season, the leaderboard that was playing in contention on Sunday, and so much more, it’s hard to not see the stark contrast between the two events beyond the money and think that the RBC Canadian Open just means so much more.
