2023 Honda Classic Final Payouts, Prize Money: Chris Kirk Wins $1.512 Million
The Honda Classic isn't one of the PGA Tour's new "designated events," but the purse still got a boost this year. The total payout was $8.4 million, up from $8 million in 2022 and $7 million in 2021.
Veteran Chris Kirk was the biggest beneficiary, winning for the first time in more than seven years on the PGA Tour. He defeated Eric Cole with a birdie on the first playoff hole.
Kirk's last win was the 2015 Charles Schwab Challenge. According to the PGA Tour, the last player to go seven-plus years between victories was Lucas Glover, when he won the 2021 John Deere Classic for his first win in 10 years.
Here are the payouts for the 2023 Honda Classic:
