Prefontaine Classic 2023 prize money

The 2023 Prefontaine Classic paid $1,880,500 across 32 disciplines at Hayward Field, Eugene, 16 to 17 September 2023. Two athletes left with the biggest cheque of the day, $60,000 each.

The Diamond League pays by finishing place. One card sets what first through eighth is worth and the same figure applies in every discipline on it, so the tables below are the same ladder 32 times over. Ninth place pays nothing, however good the field.

Every discipline on the same tier pays out the identical amount, so the last column is one figure repeated rather than a ranking. What differs between the rows is who was standing in each place when it was handed over.

Jakob Ingebrigtsen took $60,000 of the $1,880,500 this meeting paid out. The table lists the 30 biggest of 222; every one of them is in the payment table above.

Frequently asked questions

How much prize money did the 2023 Prefontaine Classic pay?

$1,880,500 in all, across 32 disciplines. Every discipline paid the same $59,000, because the series applies one card to all of them.

What did winning at the 2023 Prefontaine Classic pay?

$30,000. That is 50% of what the discipline pays out in total, and it is the same figure whether the win came in the 100 m or the javelin.

How far down the field does the Diamond League pay?

Eight places, and ninth pays nothing. 249 athletes finished a discipline at this meeting and 226 of them were paid, so 23 were in a result table here for nothing.

Who earned the most at the 2023 Prefontaine Classic?

Two athletes tied at the top on $60,000 each, because the series pays by finishing place and by nothing else: a win in the shot put is worth exactly what a win in the 100 m is. They were Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Shericka Jackson. Four athletes were paid more than once at this meeting.

Is the Prefontaine Classic worth more than a normal Diamond League meeting?

Yes. This is the final, and the final pays on its own card: $30,000 for winning a standard discipline here against $10,000 for winning one at a series meeting of the same season. That is why the meeting pot is $1,880,500.
