The excitement is palpable as the golfers gather at Hillcrest Country Club in Boise, each one hoping to make their mark and take home a piece of the prize. But how does the money distribution work in the Albertsons Boise Open?

How does money distribution work in the Korn Ferry Tour?

The Korn Ferry Tour has a standard formula for sharing prize money among golfers. If 65 or more players make the cut, the winner receives 18% of the total purse, while the runner-up gets 9%. Previously, it was 10.8% before the 2020 pay scale adjustment. The remaining players receive smaller percentages, with 65th place getting 0.40%. However, there are exceptions to this rule. If fewer than 65 players make it through, or if it’s a special tournament, the prize money distribution may vary.

The tour also reserves the right to make exceptions in unique situations. Generally, though, the standard formula applies, providing a clear and predictable way to divide the prize money. This system ensures that golfers know what to expect and can plan accordingly. With a lot at stake, the golfers are sure to compete with all they have.
