Here’s how the 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson prize money was distributed as Scottie Scheffler ran riot in Texas.

The CJ Cup Byron Nelson prize money has increased to $9.9 million – up $400,000 on the last two years.

That’s good news for Scottie Scheffler, who needed a PGA Tour record-equalling 253 shots to earn his 14th title on the American circuit.

Scheffler was 32-under-par on the 18th tee and on course to break the 72-hole scoring record, but he flubbed a chip and a bogey dropped him back to -31 and his margin of victory ended up as eight.

Hideki Matsuyama holds the record for the lowest 72-hole score in relation to par when he finished on 35-under at the par-73 Plantation Course at Kapalua earlier this season.
