The 2025 The CJ Cup Byron Nelson purse is set for $9.9 million, with the winner's share coming in at $1,782,000 -- the standard 18 percent payout according to the PGA Tour's prize money distribution chart.
The 2025 The CJ Cup Byron Nelson field is headed by Scottie Scheffler, Sungjae Im, Tom Kim and more of the world's best players.
The 156-player field competes in the latest event of the year, with the event played on TPC Craig Ranch, just outside of the Dallas area.
