It pays to play well on the PGA Tour, especially at designated events. Just ask this week’s winner, Kurt Kitayama.
The 30-year-old earned his first PGA Tour win Sunday and held off a handful of professional golf’s best down the stretch at the 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational. Kitayama finished at 9 under after an even-par 72 in the final round to take home the top prize of $3.6 million.
Rory McIlroy and Harris English finished T-2 at 8 under to earn a whopping $1.78 million each. Patrick Cantlay, Tyrrell Hatton, Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth all finished T-4 at 7 under and will take home just south of seven figures with $800,000 in winnings.
Check out how much money each PGA Tour player earned this week at the 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Orlando.
