The 2023 BMW Championship will take place this weekend as the FedEx Cup Playoffs near its end for this season. Last year saw Patrick Cantlay hold up the impressively large trophy for the second year in a row, beating Scott Stallings by one stroke at Wilmington Country Club. He'll attempt to bounce back from last week's razor-thin defeat at the hands of Lucas Glover and go for a third straight BMW Championship title at Olympia Fields Country Club in Olympia, Illinois.

The tournament is crucial in terms of the FedEx Cup standings as the second-to-last event of the year. A win could catapult a golfer up the standings and put them in prime position for the last event of the year, the Tour championship.

But that's not all they would win. What does the purse look like for the 2023 BMW Championship?

According to the PGA the total purse for this year's BMW Championship is $20 million. Not too shabby.
