The CJ Cup is one of the prestigious events on the PGA Tour. The tournament features a purse of $9.9 million, with the winner taking home a cool $1.782 million. The rest of the field will be vying for their share of the remaining prize money, with the runner-up earning $1,068,000 and the third-place finisher banking $692,000. Here is a complete breakdown of the payouts for the top 10 finishers:
Matt Wallace carded a 4-under-par 66 on Thursday to take a one-shot lead after the first round of the CJ Cup at Byron Nelson. Wallace, who missed the cut in his last two starts and had not finished higher than 27th in his previous four, made five birdies and just one bogey at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas. “I’ve been playing pretty good golf, just haven’t been putting myself in the right positions…. I felt like I did that today,” Wallace said. “I putted better. And, yeah, just one silly bogey, which is more than acceptable.”
