The Memorial: $20 Million Payout to PGA Tour Stars Revealed

Scottie Scheffler is at it again as he defended his title at The Memorial Tournament to earn his 16th PGA Tour win.

The Memorial was the Tour’s seventh Signature Event, so the elevated purse was $20 million. Scheffler won $4 million and 700 FedEx Cup points, to give him his third win of the season after claiming the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow and CJ Cup Byron Nelson.

He signed for a 2-under 70 on Sunday to win by four shots over the Charles Schwab Challenge winner, Ben Griffin.

The former Texas Longhorn stayed steady throughout the week as he made just one bogey all weekend and went 70-70-68-70 to show why he is the No.1 player in the world.

Scheffler became the first player since Tiger Woods to win this tournament in back-to-back seasons.

Griffin performed well at Murifield Village, but couldn’t close it out against Scheffler. However, his performance was enough to get him solo second, and he will take home $2.2 million. Griffin won $1,710,000 last week in Texas and earned $3,910,000 in the last two weeks on Tour.

Sepp Straka finished solo third after he shot a 2-under 70 to get to 5-under on the tournament and take home $1.4 million. Nick Taylor was fourth at 4-under overall and will leave Ohio with $1 million. Those four are the ones who made seven figures this weekend at The Memorial.
