Winning the Masters Tournament is about more than money for the best golfers in the world. There’s a green jacket that comes with it too, of course. But the prestige of being crowned champion during the season’s first major at prestigious Augusta National Golf Club lasts forever, and the lifetime exemption to play in the Masters each winner earns serves as proof over the years.
There’s nonetheless still a lot of money at stake for the contenders this weekend. The Masters announced Saturday that this year’s purse will be $21 million, with the winner on Sunday earning $4.2 million. That’s an increase from last year’s record amount, when there was a total payout of $20 million for the golfers that made the cut and defending Masters champion Scottie Scheffler earned $3.6 million for winning his second green jacket.
Here’s a breakdown of how this year’s Masters purse will be doled out when the final round concludes on Sunday, as well as what the payouts and prize money have been in previous years at Augusta National Golf Club:
