While he may not have played on the PGA Tour this season, the 4-time Major Championship winner arrives in fine form. He hasn’t finished outside the top 5 in three DP Tour appearances. However, McIlroy will be eyeing a much bigger prize – to reclaim the top ranking in the Overall World Golf Rankings (OWGR).
He’ll be able to do so with a top 2 finish in the tournament, provided World No. 1, Scottie Scheffler, doesn’t finish anywhere near. The 2022 Masters victor comes back on the Tour with a change in gears after replacing his old club with a brand-new Scotty Cameron T-5.5 Proto mallet putter.
Apart from the star names, there will be added focus on 20-year-old, Kim Joo-hyung. The South Korean golfer has already notched up two wins on the PGA Tour and drew appreciation after his swashbuckling display in the 2022 Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow.
Total Purse and winner’s share for the 2022 CJ Cup
The total purse for this year’s CJ Cup is set at $10.5 million. The winner of the event will be awarded $1,890,000, which is the standard 18 percent payout in PGA tournaments.
The CJ Cup will be a no-cut event, meaning players will be allowed to continue for the final two rounds. All players who finish four rounds of the competition will earn prize money.
