As the players sloshed through the rain-delayed Zozo Championship, sticking around for a Monday finish to the first PGA Tour stop held in Japan, they could rest assure that all the effort would be rewarded … financially that is.
The total purse given out for the no-cut, limited-field event at Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club outside Tokyo was $9.75 million. That matched the largest prize money payout for any tournament on the PGA Tour that isn’t a major championship, a WGC or the Players. It wasn’t just the winner, Tiger Woods, who took home more than $1 million—$1,755,000 to be exact, while making a whole lot of history by winning his record-tying 82nd PGA Tour title. So did the runner-up, Hideki Matsuyama, who earned $1,053,000 as he tried to grab a victory in his home country.
Suffice it to say, it was a lucrative week for many in Japan. Here is the prize money payout for each player in the tournament.
