Have they selected the winner yet?
Does this mean Jay will go through with the adoption papers on Dennis?
Do they pay 4 spots or just 3? 2nd = $5K; 3rd = $3K?
thx,

MOT is 3 spots only.
Assuming it's like previous years, its
20K
3K
2K
He said 'selected'. Sounds like hes asking about the Louie Roberts award.
Don't know if they have that anymore.
They defamed it by putting 'Scooter' up there.
What a joke he was!
Yep, and those are some mighty top-heavy payouts. Imagine losing MOT by 1 point and having it cost you $17,000.

Top heavy payouts, and near misses are not uncommon. Not directly apples to apples because the percentage ratio of second prize to first prize is much smaller in this example from DCC, than from the one I intend to list from the PGA Tour. I guess this means it's not nearly as top heavy, but missing out on $17,000 by a point can be put in perspective. I would have expected DCC payouts to be more like $12,000 --> $8,000 --> $5,000 if $25k was to be split between first, second and third. Perhaps the small size of the purse is the main factor in that a $12,000 payout just doesn't sound like a significant prize matching the achievement, but there aren't enough funds to also elevate the next two places in prize money.
Here are the top payouts from the 2017 Farmer's Insurance Open which concluded yesterday on the PGA Tour.
1. Jon Rahm -13 $1,206,000
T2. Charles Howell III -10 $589,600
T2. Cheng-Tsung Pan -10 $589,600
T4. Keegan Bradley -9 $252,590
T4. Justin Rose -9 $252,590
T4. Pat Perez -9 $252,590
T4. Patrick Rodgers -9 $252,590
T4. Tony Finau -9 $252,590
T9. 5 Others -8 $167,500
I'd prefer 15K, 7K, and 3K, to the current payout structure for MOT.
