How much will golfers win at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson? Prize money and winner’s share explored

The 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson tournament will tee off on Thursday, May 11, at the TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas. The PGA Tour event will feature a 156-player field headlined by World No. 2 Scottie Scheffler. The four-day event will see the circuit’s top names compete for the $9,500,000 prize on offer.

The AT&T Byron Nelson field will have players like Scheffler, Jason Day, Hideki Matsuyama, and two-time defending champion K.H. Lee competing for the top prize. Placed in between the elevated Wells Fargo Championship and the PGA Championship, the AT&T Byron Nelson has some big names missing from the field as well. However, the ones on the field will be looking to fly back with the trophy and the hefty paycheck.
