CJ CUP Byron Nelson payout distribution 2024: Prize money, purse
We knew coming into THE CJ Cup Byron Nelson 2024 that we were going to see a ton of birdies, and the top of the leaderboard on the PGA Tour leading into Sunday's final round most definitely backed that up. Last year's winning score of 23-under seemed like it could be dwarfed as Taylor Pendrith surged into the lead on Saturday during moving day with a score of 19-under and 18 holes left to play.
However, even if Pendrith sat alone atop the leaderboard and in line for the biggest payout of prize money at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson, that didn't mean that the challengers were just going to settle for a smaller share of the purse. Guys like Jake Knapp -- already a winner on the PGA Tour this year -- Ben Kohles, Matt Wallace, Alex Noren and more were lurking trying to have their impact felt on Sunday in the final round.
But just how much prize money is on the line this week in McKinney, TX? We have a full breakdown of THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson payout distribution with a look at the purse size and the prize money handed out to each finishing position among players who made the cut.
CJ CUP Byron Nelson purse 2024: Winner's prize money, total purse

Obviously, this payout and prize money breakdown is going to pale in comparison to what we saw from LIV Golf this week in Singapore, but that's the name of the game, especially in a non-signature event on the PGA Tour.
But even still, all of the Top 22 finishers this week at TPC Craig Ranch will be making six figures, which is solid, as well as both the winner and runner-up this week clearing a seven-figure payday. We'll, of course, see this purse and prize money really level up next week at Quail Hollow for the signature event, the Wells Fargo Championship.
