Payday in Japan
Here's the prize money payout for each golfer at the 2022 Zozo Championship

A year ago at the Zozo Championship, Hideki Matsuyama held a one-shot lead entering the final round at Narashino Country Club outside Tokyo. Naturally, there was a certain kind of pressure felt by the Japanese icon, playing his 200th PGA Tour event, to close out the tournament in front of his loyal local fans. And he followed through, shooting a Sunday 65 to win the title by five shots.
This Sunday, Rickie Fowler held a one-shot lead with 18 holes to play as he made his 299th career tour start. He, too, felt pressure, but of a different variety. Stuck on five career tour wins since 2019 and seeing his World Ranking fall to 160th, the 33-year-old hoped to erase the narrative of a stalled career and return to a prominence that more closely mirrors the popularity he still holds with golf fans.
Unfortunately for Fowler, it wasn’t meant to be as another player trying to jumpstart his career emerged on Sunday in Japan. Keegan Bradley played with Tiger Woods in 2019 when the 15-time major champ made the Zozo his record-tying 82nd PGA Tour title. Feeding off Tiger vibes, Bradley, 36, buckled down in the final round, shooting a two-under 68 to pass Fowler and win for the first time on tour since 2018. Fowler, with a closing 70, tied for second, his 15th career runner-up finish, along with Andrew Putnam.
With the win, Bradley earned a first-place prize money payout of $1.98 million from an overall purse of $11 million. Here’s the prize money payouts for the entire field in Japan. Come back Sunday and we’ll update the names and individual totals after the conclusion of the tournament.
