Okay, folks, wanted to walk you through how I tracked down the payout info for that Veritex Bank Championship. It wasn’t rocket science, but sometimes you gotta dig a little.
Starting the Search
So, the first thing I did was hop on my computer. I knew the tournament name, obviously. My go-to move is usually to check the official source first. In this case, that’s the Korn Ferry Tour, since they run the event.
I opened up my browser and just typed in something simple like “Korn Ferry Tour official site”. Got to their main page. Now, these sites can be a bit busy, you know? Lots of news, player profiles, all that jazz.
Navigating the Official Site
I started looking around for stuff like “Tournaments” or “Schedule”. Found the schedule section pretty quick. Then I had to scroll or search for the specific event, the “Veritex Bank Championship”. Sometimes you have to make sure you’re looking at the right year too, but usually the most recent one is prominent.
Once I clicked on the tournament’s page, I scanned for anything related to money. Keywords I looked for were:
- Purse
- Prize Money
- Payout
- Results
Often, the full breakdown is under the “Results” or a dedicated “Prize Money Distribution” link after the tournament finishes. If you’re looking before it ends, sometimes you only find the total purse announced.
Finding the Breakdown
This time, I found it under the final results page. They usually list all the players who made the cut and exactly how much cash they took home. It took a bit of clicking around, maybe 5-10 minutes total navigating the site menus.
They typically show the winner’s share, which is the biggest chunk, obviously. Then it lists the amounts for second place, third, and so on, all the way down to the last guy who made the cut. The total purse figure is usually listed right at the top of that breakdown.
Confirming the Numbers (Optional Step)
Sometimes, if the official site is slow to update or confusing, I might do a quick search on a major sports news outlet known for covering golf. Something like “Veritex Bank Championship payout 2023” (or whatever the year is). Usually, reliable sports news sites report these numbers pretty quickly after the event concludes. But this time, the Korn Ferry Tour site had what I needed clear as day once the final results were posted.
So yeah, that was the process. Start official, navigate to the specific event, look for results or prize money sections. Pretty straightforward, just takes a few clicks. Got the info logged for my records.
