How golf prize money works
The purse is shared out by finishing position, with tied players splitting the money for the places they share. Players who miss the cut after 36 holes get nothing, except at no-cut events, where the whole field is paid. More on the cut and playoffs in how a golf tournament works.
The majors set their own purses, which are usually announced in the week of the tournament.
