Everyone who makes the cut gets a paycheck, with dead last probably getting $10K to $20K in a biggie like the PGA. Lesser tournaments pay off less but even a player who consistently finishes in the Top 20 will make a lot of money for the year. Results from today:
Mickelson 1ST $1.17M
Elkington / Bjorn Tied for 2ND $572K Each
Hal Sutton Dead Last $11.6K
