Share this post:
By BetMGM writer Ryan Hannable /
Golf is in a good place with purses up $100 million overall from 2021 and there’s some real parity on the PGA Tour.
This makes for some tough calls for golf betting each week. But at the same time, it makes for some exciting weekends with several tournaments coming down to the back nine on Sunday.
Some highlights for the 2022 season include the Players Championship in March, Masters in April, PGA Championship in May, US Open in June, British Open in July, FedEx Cup playoffs in August, and the Presidents Cup in September.

Below is a running list of the winner’s share and purse breakdown for every tournament in 2022.
Arnold Palmer Invitational – Scottie Scheffler, Winner’s Share $2.2 million
Scheffler made some clutch pars down the stretch to win his second tournament in three starts. The tournament will be remembered for the difficult conditions on Sunday, which led to a scoring average of 75.481. Scheffler managed an even-par 72 and a one-shot win over three players.
The Honda Classic – Sepp Straka, Winner’s Share $1.4 million
The former University of Georgia golfer shot a 4-under 66 at PGA National in the final round to win by one stroke. It was his first PGA Tour win, and he became the first Austrian to win on the Tour. Straka began the day five shots behind Daniel Berger, who had a Sunday to forget.
The Genesis Invitational – Joaquin Niemann, Winner’s Share $2.2 million
Niemann led the tournament from start to finish in what was a really impressive week for the 23-year-old. It was the first time in the tournament’s history that the winner went wire-to-wire. Niemann beat PGA Tour rookie Cameron Young by two shots.
WM Phoenix Open – Scottie Scheffler, Winner’s Share $1.5 million
Although the tournament will be most remembered for Sam Ryder’s hole-in-one at the raucous 16th hole on Saturday, Scheffler defeated Patrick Cantlay in a three-hole playoff to pick up his first career PGA Tour win. He recorded three straight birdies on the back nine to help get him into the playoff.
AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am – Tom Hoge, Winner’s Share $1.6 million
The 32-year-old picked up his first career win with a solid 4-under 68 in the final round to outlast several players, including Jordan Spieth. Hoge had finished runner-up just a few weeks prior at The American Express.
Farmers Insurance Open – Luke List, Winner’s Share $1.5 million
List beat Will Zalatoris in a one-hole playoff to earn his first career PGA Tour win. The 37-year-old carded a final-round 6-under 66 to get into the playoff. It was his 207th career start on the PGA Tour.
The American Express – Hudson Swafford, Winner’s Share $1.4 million
Swafford started the final round three shots off the lead but fired an impressive 8-under 64 to win the tournament by two strokes. It was the third career PGA Tour victory for the 34-year-old.
Sony Open in Hawaii – Hideki Matsuyama, Winner’s Share $1.4 million
The defending Masters champion came from five shots back on the back nine to force a playoff against Russell Henley. The playoff was over quickly, as Matsuyama eagled the par-5 18th hole following a brilliant second shot that ended up three feet from the hole.
Sentry Tournament of Champions – Cameron Smith, Winner’s Share $1.5 million
All the winners from the previous season made up the field, and it was Smith coming away with the first win on the 2022 calendar year. The scores were extremely low, as Smith’s winning score came in at 34-under, one shot better than Jon Rahm. Smith shot a 64 in the third round and followed it up with a 65 in the final round.
