The 2023 Fortinet Championship has a purse of $8.4 million, with the winner taking home a check of $1,512,000. The tournament has completed three rounds and will have a finale on Sunday, September 17.
It's the first PGA Tour event after the completion of the Tour Championship, where Viktor Hovland took home $18 million in prize money. However, the Norwegian golfer is not playing at this week's PGA Tour event. He is competing at the BMW PGA Championship, which has its final fourth round scheduled on Sunday.
The Fortinet Championship features two of the American Ryder Cup members, Max Homa and Justin Thomas. Interestingly, both of them made the cut after the second round on Friday and have been in good form. Thomas played a bogey-free round on Saturday to settle for second place in a three-way tie at the Fortinet Championship.
Following the Saturday round of the tournament, Sahith Theegala topped the leaderboard of the tournament with a score of under 17.
The winner of the Fortinet Championship will receive 500 points in the FedEx Cup standings along with the prize money of $1.5 million.
Max Homa won the tournament in 2021 and 2022 and is looking forward to defending his title at this week's event. He finished in 11th place after three rounds with a score of under 10. He will start the final round of the tournament seven strokes behind the leader.
Matt Kuchar finished in fifth place in a tie with Eric Cole while Callum Tarren settled in for seventh place followed by Peter Malnati, Martin Trainer and Robby Shelton.
