WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play purse: Payout by player, finishing position

Breaking down the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play payout for every player in the field and by finishing position for the unique format on the PGA Tour.

If you thought picking a March Madness bracket was hard, then you have never tried to go through the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play bracket and pick that one. Upsets galore, only 18 holes to determine a winner make for a wild week on the PGA Tour — but also one that is among the most fun in the season as well.

Two of the top-seeded players in their groups actually made it to the final four this year, Dustin Johnson and Scottie Scheffler but, as they faced off in the semifinals, only one could advance. That was Scheffler, who finished was the runner-up at the event a year ago, and matched him up with a previous winner, Kevin Kisner. DJ squared off with Corey Conners in the third-place match.

In those final matches, Scheffler remained white-hot as he blitzed the match play guru and earned a 4&3 victory to take the tournament. As for the consolation match, Johnson looked a bit disheveled and Conners stayed steady to earn the No. 3 spot for the tournament.

But the big thing is that every player who made the field gets a share of the $12 million purse. How does the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play payout break down by finishing position, though? We’ve got you covered.

One of the cool things about the WGC events and this one, in particular, is that every player is going to walk away with a good chunk of change. Moreover, it’s pretty nifty that making it to the final — not even winning it — guarantees the players over $1 million.

Let’s hope that we keep seeing this payout for the Dell Match Play rise so we see the best players in the world continuously coming out to play. It’s such a unique and entertaining format that we need those stars to take part in it so it can remain a PGA Tour mainstay.
