2026 THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson Purse Breakdown, Payouts

Published:

By: Zach Thompson

The 2026 edition of THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson concludes this Sunday, May 24, at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas. While it is not a Signature Event or major championship, it is still an important tournament that rewards a hefty purse along with critical FedExCup points. The total purse for the event is $10.3 million, with $1.854 million going to the winner.

Si Woo Kim leads by two strokes coming into Sunday’s final round after starting the week with a 64-60 in the first two rounds. He is two strokes ahead of Scottie Scheffler and Wyndham Clark, with Stephan Jaeger, Tom Hoge and Sungjae Im two strokes further back. With so many low scores available, even players further back still have a chance to climb to the top of the leaderboard with a strong Sunday.

Here’s how the top-25 will pay out at the end of the tournament. Ties will be evenly divided among the included positions. For example, a four-way tie for fourth would result in the total purse for fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh getting evenly divided between the four players.
