The PGA Tour has currently stoped at Dublin, Ohio for its next phase on the calendar. The Memorial Tournament 2021 is taking center stage as the world’s best golfers are at Muirfield Village competing for top honors. So what’s the total prize pool of the tournament and how much will the winner get paid?
The total prize purse of the Memorial Tournament remains unchanged from 2020. The prize pool for this year is $9.3 million, which will be split according to the tour’s standard ratio among the players who made it to the weekend.
It is surprising that the Memorial Tournament hasn’t increased its prize pool this year. We saw a $200,000 increase to it last year, as that has always been the case with PGA Tour. The tournaments receive a marginal hike with each passing year.

How much will the winner earn at the 2021 Memorial Tournament?
The champion always gets the highest share of the prize pool at any PGA Tour event. Well, that’s what’s everyone’s fighting for. As for the 2021 Memorial Tournament, the winner will earn a $1.674 million payout, along with 550 FedExCup Points.
A $1.6 million payday is huge indeed. Jon Rahm took him this figure after winning the 2020 Memorial, and this year’s champion will receive the same amount as well. Moreover, the runner-up will also be treated to a seven-figure payout, ($1,013,700) which is massive.
Furthermore, here is the payout that will be given to the Top 5 leaderboard positions at the end of four rounds at Muirfield Village Golf Club:
