How Much Did K.H. Lee Win at AT&T Byron Nelson? Champion’s Payout at TPC Craig Ranch

The AT&T Byron Nelson saw inclement weather hinder proceedings during the final round, but the tournament concluded without requiring an extra day. While Sam Burns looked like he was going to win all along, South Korean K.H. Lee quietly came through and delivered a pair of strong performances in Rounds 3 & 4. So how much did Lee take home at TPC Craig Ranch?

The AT&T Byron Nelson awarded a total prize pool of $8.1 million to the golfers. Every player who made the cut was entitled to a share of the total pool. However, it was K. H. Lee, who got the highest chunk of the prize money owing to his final round heroics. 

Prize money share for K.H. Lee at AT&T Byron Nelson

The champion always gets treated to the highest prize money share at any PGA Tour event. Likewise, 29-year-old K.H. Lee was awarded an 18% share from the $8.1 prize pool at AT&T Byron Nelson 2021.

To put that precisely, Lee took home $1,458,000 for his winning heroics. This is a massive payday in Lee’s career as he’s never won a PGA Tour event in the past. This could also be his first seven-figure payout on the tour. 

K.H. Lee is indeed deserving of all these accolades. He was not a huge favorite coming into the tournament but displayed tremendous resiliency to win amind treacherous conditions at TPC Craig Ranch. 

Rain played spoilsport for hours on Sunday, and it took a toll on the players’ mental preparation. Sam Burns, who was playing so well throughout the tournament, could only manage a 2-under 70 in the final round. 

K.H. Lee made an astonishing 6-under 66 in Round 4, which propelled him towards his first PGA Tour title. It was a terrific effort from the South Korean amid challenging Texas conditions.
