The 2020 Memorial Tournament purse is set for $9.3 million, with the winner's share coming in at $1,674,000 — the standard 18 percent payout according to the PGA Tour's prize money distribution chart.
The Memorial Tournament field is headed by Tiger Woods, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, Jon Rahm and more of the world's best players.
The 131-player field is an invitational event on the PGA Tour schedule, with the 120-player field expanded after interest in the event.
A cut is made after 36 holes to the top 65 players and ties for the final two rounds of the tournament. All players who finish four rounds of the tournament will earn money.
The event is played this year at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio.
This is the 17th PGA Tour-sanctioned event of the year and the sixth event since March.
What else is on the line: FedEx Cup points, OWGR points, exemptions
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 500 FedEx Cup points.
The winner gets 76 Official World Golf Ranking points, with the points available based on field strength.
Winning comes with other big benefits, including a three-plus season exemption on the PGA Tour, as well berths into the 2021 Masters, the PGA Championship, as well next year's Sentry Tournament of Champions.
