The 2023 Sony Open in Hawaii purse is set for $7.9 million, with the winner's share coming in at $1,422,000 -- the standard 18 percent payout according to the PGA Tour's prize money distribution chart.

The Sony Open in Hawaii field is headed by Tom Kim, Jordan Spieth, Sungjae Im and more of the world's best players. Hideki Matsuyama is the defending champion.

The 144-player field is an open event on the PGA Tour schedule, with players earning their way into the field based on the PGA Tour's priority order. Monday qualifiers earn four spots, and there are three sponsor exemptions.

A cut is made after 36 holes to the top 65 players and ties. All players who finish four rounds of the tournament will earn money.

The prize-money payout is based on exacting 65 players making the cut and finishing the tournament. However, in PGA Tour events with a standard 36-hole cut to the top 65 players and ties, the payout formula is adjusted to account for the exact number of players making the cut and will often include adding money to the stated purse to account for additional players.

The event is played this year at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, Hawaii.

This is the 11th PGA Tour event of the 2022-2023 PGA Tour schedule.
