2021 The Northern Trust money: Purse, winner’s share, prize money payout

FOLLOW: iHEART | TUNEIN


The 2021 The Northern Trust purse is set for $9.5 million, with 75 professional players who complete four rounds at Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City, N.J., earning an official-money 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 The Northern Trust field is headed by Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and more.

This tournament started with 124 players, and a 36-hole cut was made this week. With more than 65 players making the cut, the PGA Tour has added money to the purse to make sure all qualifying players are paid.

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 2,000 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 74 big Official World Golf Ranking points on the line for the winner.

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 next edition of the Masters, PGA Championship, The Players and the Sentry Tournament of Champions.
