Scottie Scheffler recieved a record share of Masters prize money for his 2024 victory at Augusta.

Here’s how the Masters prize money purse divided among the players in the field.

The Masters prize money purse is as big as it’s ever been – with a staggering $20 million up for grabs to those teeing up at Augusta.

While that number is dwarfed by The Players Championship and LIV Golf events, it is the second largest prize pot available at the major championships.

It was announced during the 2024 Masters that the purse had risen from $18 million in 2023 to a record $20 million – an $8.5 million increase in just three years, while the winner’s share of $3.6 million has almost doubled since Patrick Reed slipped into the Green Jacket in 2018.

Before we get to the 2025 Master prize money breakdown, here is how the 60 players who made the cut shared the pot last year…
