The 2018 Dell Technologies Match Play purse is set for $10 million, with the winner's share coming in at $1,700,000 -- a little lower than the standard 18 percent payout (actually 17 percent), according to the PGA Tour's prize money distribution chart.
The WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play field is headed by Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth and Hideki Matsuyama.
Every player earns a paycheck this week, with the last-place finisher earning $49,000. Players who get out of the round-robin stage and into the final bracket of 16 earn a minimum of $163,000. Losers in the quarterfinal round get $306,000, then the four semifinalists have matches to slot the top four finishers.
All of the players who failed to make the Round of 16 were paid on a sliding scale based on performance in their three matches: a payout for players who scored 0 points in group play, a different payout for those who earned 0.5 points, another for players who earned 1 point, another for players who earned 1.5 points and a final group for players who earned 2 points. Those payouts will be determined based on how many players fall in each group at the end of group play.
The event is at the Austin Country Club in Austin, Texas with the Pete Dye design that is great for match play.
