2022 Zurich Classic: Prize Money Breakdown and Winner’s Payout

The 2022 Zurich Classic of New Orleans is currently underway. Moreover, TPC Louisiana is the host of this team event on the PGA Tour. Furthermore, golfers do not get many opportunities to compete as a team. Hence, the Zurich Classic is a prestigious event for all the pro golfers. 

Additionally, there is a fantastic mixture of young and experienced golfers this year in the field, and we are witnessing some incredible golf. After round one, Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele lead the event as they carded -13 for the day. However, the star attraction Viktor Hovland and Collin Morikawa have had a mediocre start as they are T28 after day one. 

Meanwhile, prominent names like Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson, and Brooks Koepka aren’t in the field for this week. However, the prize money purse for this team event is still notable. So here’s what the prize purse for the event looks like.
