The Memorial Tournament 2025 purse, payouts: How much did Scottie Scheffler earn for his win at Muirfield Village?
Nobody in the golf world has been able to keep up with Scottie Scheffler over the past month. () Scottie Scheffler is at it again. The top-ranked golfer in the world ran away with yet another tournament on Sudnay afternoon, this time at Muirfield Village. Scheffler carded a final round 70 to take a four-shot win over the field and claim the Memorial Tournament, which marked his third win of the season and third win in his last four starts. Advertisement As a result, Scheffler is taking home a $4 million check. The Memorial Tournament is one of the Tour's signature events, most of which come with a $20 million purse. The Players Championship is the largest purse offered on Tour this season at $25 million, and Rory McIlroy took home $4.2 million for his win at the Masters — which was part of a record $21 million purse. The PGA Championship earlier this month had a $19 million purse, which was a record for the event. Scheffler rolled to a dominant win at Quail Hollow Club to claim his third major championship. That earned him a $3.42 million check. Scheffler is in the midst of a wild run that is only further separating him from the rest of the golf world. He dominated at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson last month, and then he claimed his third major title at the PGA Championship two weeks later. Along with his T4 finish last week at the Charles Schwab Challenge, Scheffler has now taken home an incredible $11.847 million in his last four starts. Advertisement Here's a look at how much Scheffler and the rest of the field at Muirfield Village earned this week. The Memorial Tournament 2025 payouts 1. Scottie Scheffler — $4 million 2. Ben Griffin — $2.2 million 3. Sepp Straka — $1.4 million 4. Nick Taylor — $1 million T5. Russell Henley, Maverick McNealy — $800,000 T7.

Jordan Spieth Shares 'Ridiculous' Scottie Scheffler Skill at The Memorial
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Moving day at the Memorial Tournament brought the biggest name in golf to the top, as Scottie Scheffler holds the outright lead by one shot at 8-under par with just 18 holes to play. Scheffler emerged from the pack late on Saturday afternoon with four birdies in his final five holes to overtake Ben Griffin, who had been the leader for almost the entire tournament up to that point. Of course, it's no surprise to see Scheffler at the top of another leaderboard. The World No. 1 has finished in the top 10 in each of his last six starts and has continued to get better and better during that stretch. Naturally, all of the talk after Saturday's round was about Scheffler. Jordan Spieth, who is having a strong week at Muirfield Village himself, highlighted one area of the three-time major champion's game that sticks out to him. "What impresses me the most is his club face control is elite," Spieth said. "It's maybe the best there's ever been as far as club face control. So his consistency is ridiculous. And then that just leads to his distance control being phenomenal. "There's a shot in and the worst he's going to do is 15 feet, and most guys are going to hit a good there, but for him that was, like, the worst shot he probably -- he's probably, like, all right, yeah, I played that safe and cast a putt out and go to tomorrow." DUBLIN, OHIO - MAY 31: Scottie Scheffler of the United States plays a shot from the 18th tee during the third round of the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday 2025 at Muirfield Village Golf Club... DUBLIN, OHIO - MAY 31: Scottie Scheffler of the United States plays a shot from the 18th tee during the third round of the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday 2025 at Muirfield Village Golf Club on May 31, 2025 in Dublin, Ohio. More Photo byScheffler is closing in on his third win of the season. Earlier in May, he ran away with the CJ Cup Byron Nelson with an incredible score of 31-under par before lapping the field in a five-shot victory at the PGA Championship. Spieth is one of the players chasing the leader, but he will have to regroup after a bogey-bogey finish to his third round. In the end, he signed for an even-par 72 and sits in a tie for fourth, five shots off of Scheffler's pace. Not only does it seem like it would it take a Herculean effort to catch Scheffler on Sunday, it would also likely take a bad day from the best player in the world at avoiding exactly that.

Indian-American Akshay Bhatia moves up to tied-4th in Charles Schwab Challenge
Akshay Bhatia shot a third round of 69, which included a rough finish with three bogeys in four holes towards the end on the third day of the Charles Schwab Challenge here in Texas, the USA. Yet, he moved up one place to be tied for fourth and is five shots behind co-leaders Ben Griffin and Matt Schmid, who, for the third straight day, shot identical scores. After 66-63 on the first two days, they added a 68 each to be 13-under. Bhatia was tied for fourth alongside Robert MacIntyre (64) and Nick Hardy (67). All three players have a total score of eight under par. In between in sole third place was Rickie Fowler (67) at 9-under. World No.1 Scottie Scheffler made a big jump as he shot 6-under 64 and rose to Tied-seventh and is now seven shots behind the leading duo. Scheffler is looking to win for the third time in as many starts after the CJ Cup and the PGA Championship. Bhatia had a strong start to the round on the front nine and with consecutive birdies on the first two holes. He dropped a shot on the sixth hole and started the back nine with another set of birdies on the 10th and 11th holes. Bhatia was 3-under at that stage. From the 14th to the 17th, Bhatia struggled to close the round as he dropped two shots on the 14th and 15th holes. He did manage to gain one of those shots back on the 16th hole, only to bogey the 17th for a score of one under par for the day. Griffin had a roller-coaster start on the front nine with three birdies to begin his round, only to drop shots with a double bogey on the fifth and a bogey on the sixth. He recovered with a birdie on the eighth and one more on the 10th hole and kept a clean sheet for the last seven holes. Matti Schmid, like his co-leader, started the round with three birdies and kept it clean for the front nine. On the back nine, Schmid had his first stumble with a bogey on the 11th hole. He was able to gain back that shot on the 16th hole, only to drop it on the 17th and close the round with a score of two under par. Fowler carded a strong round of three under par on the third day to move into third place and is currently four shots behind the leaders. Fowler had one bogey and three birdies in his round. Scheffler surged through the field on the third day as he moved up 42 places into tied seventh in the standings with his round of 64, six under par. Scheffler started the round with a great showing on the front nine as he made four birdies. On the back nine, he continued with his impressive display with a birdie on the 10th and an eagle on the 11th to go 6-under. Then he dropped shots with consecutive bogeys on the 12th and 13th but gained back those on the 16th and 17th holes before dropping another shot on the 18th hole to close an otherwise phenomenal round of golf.

Scottie Scheffler lurking six strokes behind co-leaders Ben Griffin, Matt Schmid at Colonial
Coming off his third major victory at the PGA Championship a week ago, Scheffler began the day 10 strokes back before a 6-under 64 that got him to 7 under and within six strokes. He would have been closer if not for three bogeys his last seven holes. But, with another big round on Sunday, he still has a chance to become the first player since Dustin Johnson in 2017 to win in three starts in a row. Advertisement Robert MacIntyre and Lucas Glover also shot 64. MacIntyre was in a tie for fourth with Nick Hardy and Akshay Bhatia at 8 under. Advertisement Scheffler was on the wrong end of one of the biggest comebacks at Colonial, three years ago when Sam Burns overcame a seven-shot deficit in the final round and beat his good friend on playoff hole. That matched Nick Price's record seven-shot comeback in 1994, when he caught Scott Simpson and won on the first extra hole. Griffin and Schmid both had birdies on the first three holes Saturday to get to 14 under and quickly create some separation from the rest of the field. All three birdie putts by Griffin were 7 feet or less, while Schmid had a 40-footer at the 461-yard third hole. They remained tied until Griffin's approach at No. 5 adjacent to the Trinity River was out of bounds and resulted in a double-bogey 6. He then missed the green with his approach at the sixth hole before two-putting from 14 feet for bogey. Griffin got two strokes back with birdies at No. 8 and at No. 10 with a 35-footer. That got him to 13 under, and Schmid dropped back to that when he drove into the right rough and then hit into a bunker on way to a bogey at the 637-yard par-5 11th. Scheffler, who teed off more than two hours before the co-leaders, was at 8 under after his eagle at No. 11, where he got on the green in two shots and made the 15-foot putt. That followed consecutive birdies as Nos. 9 and 10, and starting the back nine with an approach to 2½ feet. But back-to-back bogeys followed after Scheffler hit tee shots into bunkers at Nos. 12 and 13. He got those strokes back with birdies at Nos. 16 and 17, only to miss the fairway at No. 18 to finish with another bogey. Advertisement The only player to win the Byron Nelson and Colonial in the same season was Ben Hogan in 1946. Scheffler earlier this month won his beloved hometown CJ Cup Byron Nelson when matching the PGA Tour's 72-hole scoring record at 31-under 253 for an eight-stroke win. Foursome leads Senior PGA Retief Goosen and Angel Cabrera were among those tied for the lead at 5-under along with Jason Caron and Phillip Archer through three rounds of the Senior PGA Championship. The star-studded leaderboard at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Md., also includes Vijay Singh , Stewart Cink and Padraig Harrington . Golfers within two strokes going into the final round have combined to win 13 major championships. But some of the best play at the PGA Tour Champions major this week has come from some more unheralded competitors, including Archer and Caron. 'The people up there are the people that have a lot of experience,' Cabrera said. 'Most of them have been in many majors, and you can see that.' Goosen has two US Open championships on his resume and Cabrera one of those to go along with the 2009 Masters. Harrington won the British Open in 2007 and '08 and Cink in '09, while Singh has two PGA Championship victories and another in the Masters. Bae leads in Mexico by one Jenny Bae started with three straight birdies and had a one-shot lead that could have been larger except for a soft finish Saturday in the Mexico Riviera Maya Open in Playa del Carmen. Bae didn't make another birdies after the third hole. What held her back were having to settle for pars on easy scoring holes, and then closing with a bogey when it took her two shots to get out of the crushed coral left of the green on the par-5 18th. Advertisement Bae was at 7-under 209, and the LPGA rookie faces a big test Sunday — along with just about everyone else chasing her — in a bid for her first LPGA victory. 'I didn't finish as well as I wanted to, but that's OK,' Bae said. 'Just tells me that I need to fight more the last 18 holes.' The El Camaleon course at Mayakoba was set up for scoring, with the tees moved up on the par-4 17th to make it reachable with a fairway metal, and the par-5 closing hole. Yahui Zhang of China finished birdie-birdie for a 68 and was at 6-under 210, along with Chisato Iwai of Japan, who also birdied the last two holes.
