The 2025 the Memorial Tournament prize money payout is from the $20 million purse, with the 57 professional players who complete four rounds at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, earning PGA Tour prize money this week.

The winner's share of the Memorial Tournament prize pool is at $4,000,000, with the second-place finisher taking home $2,200,000 in PGA Tour prize money today.

The 2025 the Memorial Tournament field is headed by Scottie Scheffler, Ben Griffin, Sepp Straka and more.

This tournament started with 72 players, and a cut was made this week after two rounds to the top 50 players and ties, as well as any players within 10 shots of the lead. Every professional player in the field is paid for completing the event, but how much each player is paid at the 2025 the Memorial Tournament from the correct 2025 the Memorial Tournament full-field payout is based on their finish.

The 2025 the Memorial Tournament prize money payout is set ahead of the event, with the PGA Tour typically adding money to the purse if more than 50 professionals make the cut to ensure all players are paid.

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 700 FedEx Cup points, as is the practice for all Signature events in 2025.

Additionally, there are 66.5 Official World Golf Ranking points on the line for the winner.

While this event offers a significant payday, the win comes with enhanced PGA Tour status. The winner gets a two-year PGA Tour exemption, an invite to the 2026 Masters and 2025 PGA Championship, as well as the 2026 Sentry.
