Memorial Tournament 2026 Prize Money Payouts: J.T. Poston banks $4m after playoff win
Check out the full prize money payouts from the penultimate Signature Event of the PGA Tour season at Jack Nicklaus' tournament at Muirfield Village.
The Memorial Tournament delivered a dramatic finish at Muirfield Village as J.T. Poston defeated Ryan Gerard in a playoff to secure the title — and a career-best $4 million winner’s cheque.
Poston, 33, forced extra holes with a clutch birdie from seven feet on the 72nd hole before holding his nerve in the playoff to land his fourth PGA Tour victory.
Gerard pushed his compatriot all the way, but was left to rue a costly three-putt bogey on the second extra hole.
Despite the agonising miss, Gerard settled for second place and a $2.2 million payday in a breakthrough week of his own.
