2022 The Players Championship purse, winner’s share, prize money payout



The 2022 The Players Championship purse is set for $20 million, with the winner's share coming in at $3,600,000 -- the standard 18 percent payout according to the PGA Tour's prize money distribution chart.

The The Players Championship field is headed by Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth and more of the world's best players.

The 156-player field is the biggest non-major event on the PGA Tour schedule, with players earning their way into the tournament based on their priority order. No spots are held for Monday qualifiers.

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

The event is played this year at TPC Sawgrass' Players Stadium Course in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.

What else is on the line: FedEx Cup points, OWGR points, exemptions

Beyond money, there are important points, perks and benefits on the line for the field -- in particular, the tournament winner.

The winner of this event will get 600 FedEx Cup points.

The winner gets 80 Official World Golf Ranking points, with the points available based on field strength.

Winning comes with other big benefits, including a five-plus season exemption on the PGA Tour, as well berths into the 2022 Masters and 2022 PGA Championship, as well next year's Sentry Tournament of Champions.
