It pays to play well on the PGA Tour, especially in designated events. Just ask this week’s winner, Viktor Hovland.
The 25-year-old won the 2023 Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, on Sunday for his fourth PGA Tour victory. Hovland shot a final-round 2-under 70 to claim the title at 7 under after a one-hole playoff with Denny McCarthy.
For his efforts, Hovland will take home the top prize of $3.6 million, while McCarthy will leave with $2.18 million out of the $20 million designated event purse.
Scottie Scheffler shot the low round of the day, a 5-under 67, to finish a shot outside the playoff and finish solo third at 6 under for a $1.38 million payday.
Check out how much money each PGA Tour player earned this week at the 2023 Memorial Tournament, the 10th designated event of the season.
