Jack Nicklaus, a 73-time PGA Tour winner, earned $ 5,734,031 during his illustrious touring career. On Sunday, Jon Rahm won the Memorial Tournament and won a prize pool of $ 1,674 million. We’ll help you do the math here: that’s just over 29 percent of Nicklaus’ career earnings, for the only win.
As the saying goes, nice job if you can get it.
Rahm ended with a 75 final, which included two extra penalty shots that had been delivered to him after the round. It was then that he realized that as he prepared to hit a chip shot on the 16th hole – one that he would actually puncture for what he thought it was for a bird – he was moving his ball slightly. Instead, he should have taken a bogey 6 on the hole. Even with the penalty, he still defeated runner-up Ryan Palmer with three shots.
As an invitation-only event on the PGA Tour, the $ 9.3 million total prize pool at the Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio is among the highest for the unimportant. Here’s how much money every player making the Memorial cut earns. Come back shortly after the end of the tournament and we will update the list to show you specifically how much each individual has made on the field.
