The race to finish the Mayakoba Golf Classic before nightfall on Sunday is on as the 82 players who made the cut in Mexico will try to play the third and fourth rounds of the tournament and avoid a Monday finish. The task was made more difficult by the fact that 82 players actually did make the cut, with 20 players tied on the number at one under par, all sitting T-63. (Remember the new cut rule for the 2019-’20 season is the top 65 and ties.)
To offset the large remaining field, groups will play in threesomes off the first and 10th tees on Sunday and will not be repaired after the third round.
And just what are they playing for? The prize money payout at the El Cameleon course in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, is $7.2 million with the winner receiving $1.296 million. Here’s the breakdown of the prize money payout for every place that makes the cut. We’ll update this after the end of the tournament (whenever that is) with how much each player earned for the week.
