The 2022–23 PGA Tour was the 108th season of the PGA Tour – and there were a few surprises in the final money list.

It was also the 55th season since the Tour separated from the PGA of America, and the 17th edition of the FedEx Cup.

New stars were born in a season that also saw a great deal of upheaval and excitement among the uncertainty.

The Tour announced record prize money for the 2022–23 season, with increased purses for elevated events including:

  • Sentry Tournament of Champions (from US$8.2 million to $15 million)
  • Genesis Invitational (from $12 million to $20 million)
  • Arnold Palmer Invitational (from $12 million to $20 million)
  • The Players Championship (from $20 million to $25 million)
  • WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play (from $12 million to $20 million)
  • Memorial Tournament (from $12 million to $20 million)
  • FedEx Cup playoff events (from $15 million to $20 million)

On October 19, 2022, the Tour announced four additional events with elevated purses:

  • WM Phoenix Open (from $8.5 million to $20 million)
  • RBC Heritage (from $8.3 million to $20 million)
  • Wells Fargo Championship (from $9.3 million to $20 million)
  • Travelers Championship (from $8.6 million to $20 million)

The number of FedEx Cup playoff participants would be decreased from 125 to 70. The top 70 took part in the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the top 50 in the BMW Championship, and the top 30 in the Tour Championship.

Even with the FedEx Cup modifications, golfers who keep their PGA Tour cards will maintain full PGA Tour privileges for the rest of the season, with the top 125 retaining full PGA Tour privileges and non-exempt players 126-150th obtaining conditional PGA Tour membership.

But the question is, can you name the 10 players to have earned the most PGA Tour prize money in 2022-23, in what was the final season with the current wraparound format before the Tour returns to a traditional calendar-year schedule in 2024.
