Most top golfers expected at Muirfield for 2024 Memorial Tournament
Most of golf's top-rated players are expected to come to Muirfield. As one of the PGA's designated “signature” events, the Memorial will see its field reduced from 120 players to between 70 and 80 this year, and there is a bigger payday awaiting the winner.
The Memorial will have a purse of $20 million, as it did in 2023, but the winner’s share increases to $4 million, which is 20% of the total.
