PGA Tour to add multiple $20 million tournaments in 2023 as attempt to combat LIV Golf, per reports
Will these big-time purses be enough to stem the tide of departures?
The PGA Tour has responded -- a number of times and in a variety of ways -- to the upstart LIV Golf league. Their latest counter to LIV ripping away a handful of stars and multi-time major winners is a reported plan to add a big-money fall schedule to the annual calendar with individual purses of approximately $20 million put up for grabs among the top 50 players from the previous season.
According to Golfweek, the PGA Tour will likely overlay presently scheduled events with three tournaments in that will pay out $60 million across the fall. They will feature the 50 golfers who qualify for the BMW Championship, the second of three FedEx Cup Playoff events, and be spread across Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
Another proposed change is that only 70 golfers (down from 125) would qualify for the first FedEx Cup Playoff event, the St. Jude Championship. Only those 70 would be guaranteed PGA Tour cards for the following season, which will move back to being held over a calendar year beginning in January 2024.
Additionally, the purses of eight different events have already been increased, many of them nearly doubled, with the biggest individual purse in golf now belonging to The Players Championship, which was bumped from $20 million to $25 million.

Well, the LIV Golf tour definitely got the PGA's attention. Jack's tournament got a $8M bump in prize money.

Unreal. 46 year-old club pro at a public course in California finishes 15th and qualifies to compete in next year's PGA Championship.
He had a hole in one earlier in the round, partnered with Rory McIlroy, and needed every bit of it. The up and down on 18 was awesome.
