When the winner of the Masters Tournament slips on the green jacket Sunday, he might find an extra $600,000 in the pocket.
Tournament officials announced Saturday that the total purse will be $21 million this year, with the winner receiving $4.2 million. That’s up from the $3.6 million Scottie Scheffler earned in 2024 when he captured a four-shot victory over Ludvig Aberg of Sweden.
The purse last year was $20 million, which was a record amount. The winner’s share has doubled since 2021, when Hideki Matsuyama of Japan won $2.07 million.
The runner-up will win $2.268 million, an increase from the $2.16 million paid to Aberg.
The golfer finishing in 50th place will earn $52,920, with all who didn’t make the cut receiving $25,000.
