2023 BMW Championship purse: Payout info, winner’s share

Golf, as complex as it may be to some, can actually be summed in a few tidy sentences. At least according to Chris Kirk. 

It was Thursday, after first-round play of this week’s BMW Championship, when he was asked whether he could call on previous successes, or did he need to just go with the “ebb and flow.” He had his answer ready. 

“Yeah, you never know what’s going to happen,” he said. “That’s one thing about this game. You never certainly — whenever you think you have it figured out, you don’t, and whenever you think you’re lost and clueless, you’re maybe a day away from playing great.

“Yeah, I’ve tried to kind of give up on expectations a long time ago and just go play. Try to enjoy it.”

There you go. Call him Chris Kirk, golfer. And philosopher. 

Of course, there’s at least one other constant:

Pro golfers will get paid. 

With that, here is the complete payout breakdown for the 2023 BMW Championship. The total purse is $20 million.
