How much prize money does the winner get at the 2023 RBC Heritage?
How much money do the winner and the rest of the field get at the 2023 RBC Heritage golf tournament, at the Harbour Town Golf Links course?
This year’s tournament’s prize money has skyrocketed by an impressive 250 percent compared to last year’s event, making it one of the most lucrative purses of the year. This significant increase is attributed to the PGA Tour’s implementation of “designated events.”
The champion of the 2023 RBC Heritage should be grateful for their hefty payday to LIV Golf. The competition from the new golf tour has forced the PGA to find money to increase the prize money for their 2023 events.
