I am not affiliated with the tourney, but typically...............Payout isn't tied to PDGA account. Am's don't get cash, they get items or "funny money" to spend at the tournament (discs, shirts, hats, etc...) Payouts are normally calculated based on number of players. TD's can set their own bars, but for example, the top third (and ties) of a division will get "paid out". The % of the money that goes to each place varies by event. I have been paid more for finishing 5th in a small C tier than for finishing 3rd in a large B tier. Charity events often have low payouts for fewer players because, well, obviously, they are running a charity event. Pros who win cash at charity events will sometimes donate it right back to the charity. Again, I am not part of this event team, so I am only speaking generally.
Here is an example of a payout calculation. https://imgur.com/gallery/xZCvRgC
