2022 Valspar Championship: Prize Money Breakdown and Winner’s Payout

Following the Players Championship, the PGA Tour has headed to the Valspar Championship in Florida. Starting on March 17, the event comes to an end on March 20. An interesting and action-packed weekend for players and fans, the Valspar Championship takes place at the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club in Palm Harbor.

With players like Viktor Hovland taking the field, the result for the event is always interesting.

The venue itself is a good blend of luxury and golf, the resort boasting four courses. One of them, of course, is the Copperhead Course for the Valspar Championship. It was designed by the architect Lawrence ‘Larry’ Packard, the courses highlighting Carolina Sandhills and Georgia Foothills.

The tournament was also known as the Tampa Bay Classic when it began. Other names like Chrysler Championship or the PODS Championship were used before settling on the Valspar Championship in 2014. By the looks of it, Valspar is here to stay as the main sponsor.

Furthermore, the venue has made it to Golf Digest’s list of “Top 100 Courses You Can Play,” and “Top 75 Golf Resorts in America.” Irrespective of which course one chooses, the venue promises a great experience.

Was the event played in 2020?

While the tournament has been around since 2000, it was canceled in 2020 due to the ongoing pandemic. With the entire sports world stunted, the Valspar Championship had to take one year off. Of course, they returned in 2021 with renewed enthusiasm.

Sam Burns won that edition, making it his second PGA Tour win. However, Collin Morikawa, Dustin Johnson, and Brooks Koepka will be other high-profile players ready to challenge Burns as the defending champion this year.

Winner’s payout at the Valspar Championship 2022

Following a gap in 2020, the Valspar Championship will return with an increased prize purse of $7.8 million – which is a great jump from $1 million. Money often works as an excellent motivator and is a good way to get bigger PGA Tour players to play.

The winner will take home just over $1.4 million, which is a large chunk of the total prize pool.

That being said, here’s a look at the complete breakdown.
