The Masters Tournament 2025: Golf Elite Competes for Millions

This weekend will decide who secures the record-breaking prize money and the legendary green jacket. While the money may be secondary for many at this prestigious event, the battle for glory, honor, and a mega check is on.

This is how high the record prize money is in 2025

The US Masters in Augusta is not only known for its traditions but also for its special prize money policy. While other majors already publish their prize money structure in advance, the prize money at the US Masters is traditionally only announced after the cut. This year, it amounts to a total of 21 million dollars – the highest amount ever awarded in the history of the tournament. It surpasses last year’s record prize money by 1 million dollars. The winner receives 4.2 million dollars, the runner-up can look forward to 2.268 million dollars. Third place brings 1.428 million dollars. But even beyond the podium, the payout remains above the million mark: fourth place is rewarded with 1.008 million dollars.

Players who made the cut but finish outside the top 50 receive decreasing prize money starting at $51,660. Unlike most other tournaments, even players who miss the cut don’t go home empty-handed: They each receive $25,000.

At the 88th edition of the Masters Tournament, Scottie Scheffler once again proved why he is number 1 in the world rankings. At the first major of the season, Scheffler gave his competitors no chance and confidently secured his second Masters title. The organizers have now announced this year’s prize money to coincide with the final round. After the record sum of 2023, those responsible at Augusta National Golf Club are once again increasing the sum, this time by two million dollars, to more than 20 million. Scottie Scheffler can look forward to 3.6 million dollars.

How much prize money will the players receive at the Masters Tournament 2024?

As with other tournaments, the prize money will be divided up on a staggered basis, this time with 3.6 million dollars for the winner of the Major. This is followed by the other top three places, also with six-figure sums, up to 50th place with a further 50 thousand dollars. Unlike in previous years, the distribution is not 20 per cent for the winner, 18 per cent for second place and 6.8 per cent for third place. This year, first place will receive 18 per cent, second place will receive 10.8 per cent and third place will continue to receive 6.8 per cent of the prize money pot. The exact distribution of the prize money is therefore as follows:
