2020 The Northern Trust money: Purse, winner’s share, prize money payout

FOLLOW: iHEART | TUNEIN


The 2020 The Northern Trust purse is set for $9.5 million, with 70 professional players who complete four rounds at TPC Boston in Norton, Mass., earning a paycheck this week.

The winner's share of the The Northern Trust prize pool is at $1,710,000, with the second-place finisher taking home $1,035,500.

The Northern Trust field is headed by Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and more.

This tournament started with 125 players, and there was a 36-hole cut made to players at 3-under 139 or better.

With the new PGA Tour cut rule down to the top 65 and ties, no players are subject to the PGA Tour's secondary cut any longer.

What else is on the line

Beyond money, there are important points, perks and benefits on the line for the field -- in particular, the tournament winner.

The winner of this event will get 1,500 FedEx Cup points. Every player who completes this event earns FedEx Cup points, and only PGA Tour members qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs.

Additionally, there are 76 big Official World Golf Ranking points on the line for the winner, as this is one of the strongest non-major fields in golf history.

While this event offers a significant payday, a win comes with the benefits that come with winning on the PGA Tour. Winners of these events get a two-plus season exemption on the PGA Tour, berths into the 2021 Masters, the 2021 Sentry Tournament of Champions, 2021 The Players Championship and the 2021 PGA Championship.
