What is the PGA Tour's standard formula for payout percentages and distribution of its purse and prize money for almost every event?

The winner of a PGA Tour event usually gets 18% with second place receiving 10.8% of the total purse. It continues from 3rd to 10th place 6.8%, 4.8%, 4%, 3.6%, 3.35%, 3.1%, 2.9% and 2.7%. The percentages then further decline down to the 70th place finisher, who receives 0.2 percent of the purse.

If there is a cut, normally 65-70 players make the final rounds.

Players who don’t make the cut don’t get paid.

If two or more players finish with the same score the dollar values of the players’ positions are added up, then divided by the number of tied players to calculate each player’s share.

Since amateurs don’t get paid their prize money is passed over when the purse is distributed.
