Winning the Masters is a dream for every golfer, as being able to put on that iconic green jacket is an honour only few achieve.
But it’s not just the jacket and trophy that the winners get, it’s also a whopping amount of money.

Scottie Scheffler was the victor last year and he’s now aiming to win back-to-back Masters and join an exclusive club to do so alongside legends Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Nick Faldo.
The World No.1 will lead the field at the iconic Augusta National Golf Club along with Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele and Jon Rahm.
They will all be competing for the biggest cut of what is a huge prize pot…
The Masters 2025: Prize money
Although there hasn’t been a confirmed prize pot for the 2025 Masters, a prediction can be made using last year’s tournament.
Official prize details for this week are likely to be announced soon.
In 2024, the Masters and Augusta National broke records for putting up the largest ever amount of money seen at this event.
A total prize purse of $20milllion (£15.6million) was made available.
Scheffler received $3.6m (£2.8m) for winning the tournament last year and a similar payout is expected for whoever comes out on top this week.
Second place is expected to get just over $2m and third place will claim $1.3m.
Fourth will likely pick up $960,000, while fifth collects a prize of $800,000.
