Grant Thornton Invitational Prize Money Payout 2023
A total of 32 players from the PGA Tour and LPGA Tour compete in teams of two at Tiburon Golf Club
The inaugural Grant Thornton Invitational, which replaces the QBE Shootout, promises something very different from a regular tournament.
A field of 32 comprising 16 PGA Tour players and 16 LPGA Tour players will compete in teams of two at Tiburon Golf Club in Florida. Each team will include one PGA Tour player and one from the LPGA Tour as they compete across three days with three formats.
The first round uses the scramble format, with foursomes during round two. However, the final round uses a new format – modified four ball, where both players on each team tee off before switching balls for their second shots, and continuing with that ball until it is holed. The lower score between the teammates will count towards the team score.
The 16 teams will be competing for a share of a $4m purse, and the winning team will claim $1m shared equally between the two victorious players.
That compares favourably with two other big events this week. The DP World Tour’s Alfred Dunhill Championship has a purse of €1.5m (around $1.62m) with the winner earning €255,000 (around $276,000), while the LIV Golf Promotions event in Abu Dhabi has a $1.5m purse, with $200,000 going to the winner.
While the $4m is a considerably smaller purse compared to many tournaments in the men's game, it is one of the biggest of the year associated with the women's game, with only the LPGA Tour’s season-closer the CME Group Tour Championship offering higher prize money outside the five Majors.
Below is the full prize money payout for the Grant Thornton Invitational.
