The BMW Championship payout and purse breakdown.

The 2023 BMW Championship will take place this weekend as the FedEx Cup Playoffs near its end for this season. Last year saw Patrick Cantlay hold up the impressively large trophy for the second year in a row, beating Scott Stallings by one stroke at Wilmington Country Club. He'll attempt to bounce back from last week's razor-thin defeat at the hands of Lucas Glover and go for a third straight BMW Championship title at Olympia Fields Country Club in Olympia, Illinois.

The tournament is crucial in terms of the FedEx Cup standings as the second-to-last event of the year. A win could catapult a golfer up the standings and put them in prime position for the last event of the year, the Tour championship.

But that's not all they would win. What does the purse look like for the 2023 BMW Championship?

BMW Championship Purse

According to the PGA the total purse for this year's BMW Championship is $20 million. Not too shabby.

The winner of the tournament will receive $3.6 million from the pool. Second gets $2.16 million, while third will take home $1.36 million. The numbers continue to decrease from there; you can find the full payout breakdown below.
