The Masters golf tournament is underway at Augusta National, with a record-breaking purse of $21 million on offer. The event’s first-place winner will take home a massive $4.2 million check, while those who missed the cut will receive $25,000 each.
Last year’s Masters offered a record-breaking $20 million purse, which matched most major golf events’ purses. Scottie Scheffler won the 2023 tournament with a prize of $3.6 million and is considered a strong contender this time around.
Rory McIlroy is also in contention, having rallied back from an earlier finish to enter the weekend with a one-shot lead. Justin Rose currently leads the field but may face stiff competition from Scheffler.
The Masters 2025 payouts will see golfers receive a significant amount of money for finishing higher up the leaderboard. Here’s how much is up for grabs:
1. $4,200,000
2. $2,268,000
3. $1,428,000
4. $1,008,000
5. $840,000
6. $756,000
7. $703,500
8. $651,000
9. $609,000
