Payday at Sea Island
Here's the prize money payout for each golfer at the 2023 RSM Classic
Alex Slitz
The RSM Classic was just Ludvig Aberg’s 11th start on the PGA Tour since turning pro in June. The fact, then, that there was a “finally” feel surrounding his four-shot victory Sunday at Sea Island Golf Club speaks to just how highly people think of the 24-year-old Swede’s game.
With a second-straight 61 on the Seaside Course giving him a 29-under 253 total to top 2017 winner Mackenzie Hughes, Aberg claimed his first PGA Tour title in the final official PGA Tour event of 2023. It comes 11 weeks after he earned his first DP World Tour victory (Omega European Masters) and seven weeks after becoming the first golfer to ever compete in the Ryder Cup without previously having played in a major championship (the win locks up spots in the 2024 Masters and PGA Championship).
Since finishing up his college career at Texas Tech as the No. 1 player in the PGA Tour University ranking, earning him a PGA Tour card through 2024, Aberg has been hanging out on leaderboards on both sides of the Atlantic. His finish in Georgia was his third top-10 of the year.
The victory propelled Aberg from 96th on the FedEx Cup points list to 53rd, getting him not only into the Sentry Tournament of Champions, but the next two signature events on the PGA Tour in 2024, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the Genesis Invitational.
Oh, and then there’s the first-place prize money payout. Aberg grabbed $1.512 million for the win from an overall purse of $8.4 million, which more than doubled his PGA Tour earnings to date ($1,632,994). Here's the prize money payout for each golfer who made the cut in Georgia. Come back shortly after the end of the tournament and we’ll update the list with individual names and specific payouts.
