The iconic green jacket still defines the Masters \u2014 but the prize money has never been greater.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s winner will take home a record $4.5 million, a payday that separates sharply from the rest of the field.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the Masters announced a total purse of $22.5 million\u2014an increase of $1.5 million from last year and up $7.5 million from 2022, when American Scottie Scheffler won.<\/p>\n

More than $17 million of this year\u2019s total will go to the top 15 finishers, with payouts dropping sharply down the leader board.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Second place will earn just over $2.4 million, while third takes home a little more than $1.5 million. Even the golfer who finishes 50th will earn $56,700.<\/p>\n

Players who make the cut but finish outside the top 50 will earn at least $55,250, with payouts decreasing from there, while those who miss the cut will still take home $25,000.<\/p>\n

That scale underscores just how dramatically the Masters champion\u2019s payday has grown: Horton Smith earned $1,500 for winning the inaugural tournament in 1934, compared to Rory McIlroy\u2019s $4.2 million in 2025.<\/p>\n

And in a tradition unlike any other, players at Augusta National don\u2019t know the prize money they\u2019re competing for when they tee off; the club waits until after the 36-hole cut to announce the payouts.<\/p>\n
