How much will the 2023 Zozo Championship winner get? Prize money breakdown explored

The 2023 Zozo Championship is currently underway in Japan. The fourth event of the FedEx Cup Fall schedule teed off on Thursday, October 19, at the Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club in Chiba and will conclude on Sunday, October 22.

The event, featuring 78 players including PGA Tour’s top stars, has an $8.5 million prize purse. According to the PGA Tour's prize money distribution chart, the winner of the Zozo Championship will bag $1,530,000 along with the trophy.

Interestingly, the payout is marginally lesser compared to last year. Keegan Bradley bagged a whopping $1,980,000 from the event’s $11 million purse in 2022. Apart from the hefty paycheck, the Japanese event champion will also earn exemptions and invitations to next year’s events and major championships.
