Genesis Invitational 2023: Purse, Prize Money, and Payout
One of the longest-standing stops on the PGA Tour, the Genesis Invitational was established in 1926. Back then it was known as the Los Angeles Open and was usually the final West Coast stop on the PGA Tour.
Since then, the tournament has been renamed a few times, including Genesis Open, Northern Trust Open, and Nissan Open. Now, the Genesis Invitational is organized by the Tiger Woods Foundation and is set to give out the second-biggest purse of the year.
The Genesis Invitational Purse is valued at $20 million with the first prize winner taking home $3.6 million, a 67 percent increase from last year when the winner’s share was $2.16 million.
The top-65 make the cut, and anyone playing on Saturday is guaranteed at least $43,000.
