The PGA Tour has seen a significant increase in prize money payouts for 13 “elevated” events in 2023. With payouts reaching up to $20 million, this presents an opportunity for golfers to achieve financial career milestones.

Currently, Justin Rose and Matt Kuchar are close to hitting the $60 million mark and could reach it with some strong performances. Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas are also contenders to join the $60 million club in the future with standout seasons.

However, Sergio Garcia will not be able to join the club as he has resigned from his PGA Tour membership and joined LIV Golf. The other players in the $60 million club include Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Vijay Singh, Jim Furyk, Jordan Spieth, and Rory McIlroy.
