2024 Memorial Tournament: Golfers Compete for a Share of $20 Million Prize Pool
The PGA Tour’s 2024 Memorial Tournament is in full swing at Muirfield Village, offering a total prize pool of $20 million. As one of the last major tournaments of the season, it sets the stage for a lucrative three-week stretch in professional golf, with a combined $60 million up for grabs across multiple events.
After narrowing down the field from 73 players to the top 50 (and those within 10 strokes of the lead), the competition is heating up. Scottie Scheffler currently leads by three shots, with top contenders like Viktor Hovland, Keegan Bradley, Ludvig Åberg, Tony Finau, Rory McIlroy, and Xander Schauffele not far behind.
The winner of the tournament will walk away with a hefty $4 million prize, equivalent to other major events on the PGA Tour calendar. However, even those further down the leaderboard have the opportunity to earn significant payouts. Players within the top 11 are guaranteed at least $500,000, with payouts increasing for those in the top 21 and top 50.
Here is a breakdown of the prize money for the 2024 Memorial Tournament:
– 1st place: **$4,000,000**
– 2nd place: **$2,200,000**
– 3rd place: **$1,400,000**
– 4th place: **$1,000,000**
– 5th place: **$840,000**
– And so on, with payouts decreasing incrementally down to 70th place.
With such substantial rewards on the line, the competition at the Memorial Tournament is fierce as players aim to secure their share of the impressive prize pool. As the tournament progresses, all eyes will be on the leaderboard to see who emerges victorious and claims the top prize.
