The payouts are getting bigger and bigger as we are heading into the last stretch of the 2023 season.
There are still multiple events to play such as the MVP Open at Maple Hill (DGPT playoffs), U.S. Women’s DG Championships (Major), Throw Pink Women’s DG Championships, USDGC (Major) and the Tour Championships, the last of which has the biggest payout of the season! Last year’s winners took home a whopping $35,000!
So the question remains, who will beat Ricky Wysocki’s last year’s record setting tournament prize money earnings of $105,776?
How much have the best disc golfers earned so far in 2023?
Isaac Robinson is in the lead with a total of $87,194 earned in 29 events, this is ONLY tournament prize money payouts, that’s roughly ~3K USD per event, not bad! But that’s nothing compared to Kristin Tattar, who has the highest average earnings per event with $4852.2 per tournament and has earned a total of $82,487 in just 17 events!
