2023 Valspar Championship Caddie Payout, Purse, and Prize Money

 

Valspar, title sponsor of the Valspar Championship, logo on building.

The Valspar Championship is hailed as the most colorful event on the PGA Tour. Though not a designated event, the field is still splattered with some of the golf greats. Four of the top 15 players in the world are present on the Copperhead Course and Innisbrook Resort. Sam Burns, the winner of the past 2 Valspar Championships is also in the field trying to be the first person to win 3 titles.

Though Burns as unable to secure the three-peat, this tournament still came down to a nail-biter finish, where we could have seen a three-man playoff. In the end, it was Taylor Moore who emerged victorious to secure his first win on the PGA tour, fending off Jordan Spieth and Adam Schenk in the process.

The Purse at the 2023 Valspar Championships

The total purse at the Valspar championship this year is $8.1 million. We mentioned this isn’t a designated event so we knew not to expect an elevated purse. Compared to last year, we’re seeing a 4% increase in prize money. With this win, Taylor Moore is taking home $1,458,000 a similar 4% improvement compared to what Sam Burns was paid out last year.

How much does the winning caddie make at the 2023 Valspar Championship?

The winning caddie at this year’s Valspar Championship is Chris Tichenor, Toylor Moore's caddie. Tichenor is expected to take home $145,800, 10% of the Moore’s earnings. The comparison isn’t really a fair one but this week’s caddie payout is 67% lower than what we saw Ted Scott take home for being on the winner’s bag at the Players Championship. Let’s dive a little into how much the caddies will make at the Valspar.
