The Memorial Tournament presented by Workday remains one of the most prestigious stops on the PGA Tour calendar, and that status is reflected in the event’s massive purse.
As one of the PGA Tour’s Signature Events, the Memorial Tournament features a $20 million purse, placing it among the richest regular-season tournaments in professional golf.
The winner at Muirfield Village Golf Club will take home $4 million, along with 700 FedExCup points and one of the most coveted trophies outside of the four major championships.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler entered this year’s tournament as the defending champion after capturing the title in 2025. Scheffler’s victory marked another highlight in his dominant stretch on the PGA Tour.
