With the almost unrivaled prestige of The Masters, for many players, even the chance to play in the Augusta National Major is a career highlight. However, there is considerably more at stake than that.
For the winner, a range of incredible perks is guaranteed, and one is some serious prize money for claiming the Green Jacket on Sunday evening.
This year’s winner stands to collect more than in any previous edition of the Major thanks to a record $21m prize money payout. That’s a $1m increase on the 2024 tournament.
The figure is also $2.5 million more than last year’s PGA Championship and $3.5m more than The Open at Royal Troon, although it is still $500,000 less than the 2024 US Open.
The figure is also $1m more than typical PGA Tour signature events, although it is still $4m short of the $25m that was available at the tour’s flagship event, The Players Championship, as well as regular LIV Golf events.
Regardless, this year’s Masters champion will also earn more than the winners of PGA Tour signature events and those of its big-money rival. While signature events offer between $3.6 and $4m to the winners, and each LIV Golf champion banks $4m, the player who emerges victorious this week will earn $4.2m, $600,000 more than a year ago.
Last year, that went to Scottie Scheffler, and after two rounds, he was in contention again in 2025, along with the likes of Justin Rose, Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy.
Rory McIlroy is hoping to win his first Green Jacket - and a check for $4.2m
There are also some significant consolation prizes for the runner-up, one of which is a check for $2.268m, while all of the top 37 are in line for at least a six-figure payout.
Unlike most events with a cut, every player except for the five amateurs in the Masters field receives some payment this week, with even those who failed to make it to the weekend earning $25,000 each.
Below is the prize money payout for the 2025 Masters.
