What is CJ Cup 2022 prize money?

The CJ Cup 2022 is underway at the Congaree Golf Club in South Carolina and will conclude on Sunday, October 23. In the first round, World No. 97 and 116, Trey Mullinax and Gary Woodland shared the lead by posting a 6-under 65. Falling short of one point, five players including defending champion Rory McIlroy, rising star, Tom Kim, Aaron Wise, Kurt Kitayama, Cam Davis, and Wyndham Clark tied for 3rd at 5 under. Meanwhile, World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler finished 44th at even par.

The CJ Cup marks the return of the PGA Tour in the United States after the Zozo Championship in Japan. Inaugurated in 2017, it was originally designed to be held in South Korea but was shifted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, where it has remained ever since across different locations. The previous year, the CJ Cup was held at the Summit Club in Las Vegas.
