Everyone who finishes inside the Top 40 receives at least $100,000 for their efforts.

If you miss the cut, you still receive a cool $25,000 for your efforts. That’s not too shabby for two rounds of golf on the most iconic golf course in the sport.
Entering the final round of the tournament, defending champion Rory McIlroy and Cameron Smith sit tied atop the leaderboard at 11-under, after Smith shot an incredible 7-under in Round 3 and McIlroy blew a six-stroke lead with a +1 on Saturday afternoon.
