The 2022–23 PGA Tour was the 108th season of the PGA Tour, the main professional golf tour in the United States. It was also the 55th season since separating from the PGA of America, and the 17th edition of the FedEx Cup.

Changes for 2022–23

It was the final season with the current wraparound format (that started in 2013–14). The tour returned to a traditional calendar-year format in 2024.

Prize funds

The Tour announced record prize money for the 2022–23 season, with increased purses for elevated events including:

• Sentry Tournament of Champions (from US$8.2 million to $15 million)
• Genesis Invitational (from $12 million to $20 million)
• Arnold Palmer Invitational (from $12 million to $20 million)
• The Players Championship (from $20 million to $25 million)
• WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play (from $12 million to $20 million)
• Memorial Tournament (from $12 million to $20 million)
• FedEx Cup playoff events (from $15 million to $20 million)

On October 19, 2022, the Tour announced four additional events with elevated purses:^[1]

• WM Phoenix Open (from $8.5 million to $20 million)
• RBC Heritage (from $8.3 million to $20 million)
• Wells Fargo Championship (from $9.3 million to $20 million)
• Travelers Championship (from $8.6 million to $20 million)

Eligibility changes

The number of players competing in the FedEx Cup playoffs will be reduced from 125 to 70. The top 70 will compete at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the top 50 at the BMW Championship, and the top 30 at the Tour Championship. Even with the FedEx Cup changes, the eligibility for those who retain their PGA Tour cards will not change after the remainder of the season, with the top 125 retaining full PGA Tour privileges and non-exempt players 126–150th receiving conditional PGA Tour status.

Prior to the start of the season, it was reported that a letter had been sent to PGA Tour members who had joined LIV Golf but not resigned their membership of the PGA Tour advising them that their membership would "not be renewed for the 2022–23 season".^[2]

LIV Golf agreement

In June 2023, it was announced that the Public Investment Fund, the PGA Tour, and the European Tour would create a new entity to serve the best interests of each entity.^[3]
