2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic Purse Increases 11 Percent Compared to 2021
With so many players from the PGA Tour jumping over to LIV Golf, the Rocket Mortgage Classic decided to increase its purse by 11 percent in 2022.
Before this year’s tournament, the Rocket Mortgage Classic purse was valued at $7.5 million for two straight years in 2020 and 2021.
From 2019 to 2020, the PGA tour only increased the purse by three percent from $7.3 million to $7.5 million.
The first prize payout has also increased over the last two years.
Instead of a $1.135 million payout in 2020 and 2021, the first prize is valued at $1.152 million for the 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic.
While previous winners like Bryan DeChambeau have already left for LIV Golf, golf fans can still get favorable odds for the field this weekend at the best US sports betting sites.
Check out the table below for the Rocket Mortgage Classic Purses over the last four years.
| Rocket Mortgage Classic Purse ($) | Winner’s Share ($) | Champion | Year |
| 8,400,000 | 1,512,000 | TBD | 2022 |
