Genesis Invitational purse 2023: Payout by player, finishing position

Jon Rahm and Max Homa were battling in a star-studded event at Riviera and we’re breaking down the Genesis Invitational payout, purse and winner’s share.

When the PGA Tour created the elevated events for 2023, what we got to see at the Genesis Invitational was exactly what they had in mind. Jon Rahm and Max Homa entered Sunday contending to win at Riviera and setting up a final round battle between two of the best in the world. When you then throw in Tiger Woods making the cut, it was a magical overall week of golf.

Sure, it would’ve been great to see guys like Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and the other big names in the field this week contend, but getting a Rahm vs. Homa battle down to the wire is everything that golf fans could truly ask for in terms of drama. Especially with the elevated $20 million purse and the $3.6 million prize money for the winner of the Genesis Invitational on the line.

It was set up for a huge tournament and all 68 players who made the cut were set for a nice check to be cut from the 2023 Genesis Invitational payout. Here’s how the prize money breaks down this week at Riviera.

If those totals look familiar, they certainly are. As of now, it seems that this is how the payout for the designated events is going to break down. But the players certainly won’t be complaining as they compete for some serious paychecks in these fields.

It’s really a win-win for all, though. Not only do the best players in the world show up for these tournaments like the Genesis Invitational, but the others in the field reap the rewards if they play well. That sounds like a nice way to increase interest, reward players, and make the PGA Tour better.

Tiger Woods playing never hurts, either.
