When it comes to PGA Tour prize money, things can get pretty complicated when two or more players finish tied at the end of an event.
When players are tied for a single position, the prize money for each of those players is the evenly divided amount of the total money the players would have been awarded had they all finished separately.
For example, if Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas and Collin Morikawa all finished tied for second at an event, the money for second, third and fourth place would be added and divided by three.
This way, players get a pay bump for finishing tied for their finishing position relative to the players who finish beneath them. Still, they don’t earn a financial edge compared to finishing alone in a higher position and further separating themselves from the field.
