2025 Masters purse: Payout breakdown, winner’s share

This article has been updated with final Masters payouts.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — For professional golfers, there’s nothing sweeter than winning a Masters green jacket. Although the winner’s check is pretty remarkable too. The 2025 Masters at Augusta National Golf Club boasts a record purse and winner’s share, with $21 million being paid out to this year’s field, an increase of $1 million from last year.

The Masters winner receives $4.2 million, up from the $3.6 million Scottie Scheffler won last year.

And the man with the first crack at that massive payday will be Rory McIlroy, who holds the 54-hole lead at 12 under. He’s two ahead of Bryson DeChambeau (10 under), and they will make up the final pairing and tee off at 2:30 p.m. ET on Sunday.

A win Sunday for McIlroy will also complete the career grand slam — a victory in all four of golf’s men’s majors — and make him just the sixth person in golf history to achieve the feat. He’d join a list that includes Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.

“I think I still have to remind myself that there’s a long way to go,” McIlroy said Saturday. “I just as much as anyone else know what can happen on the final day here. I’ve got a lot of experience. I came in here talking about being the most complete version of myself as a golfer, and you know, I just have to keep reminding myself of that and remind myself that no matter what situation or scenario I find myself in [Sunday], I’ll be able to handle it.”

The top-four finishers Sunday all take home seven figures. Besides the $4.2 million for first, the runner-up receives $2.268 million, third gets $1.428 million and fourth takes home $1.008 million.

At last year’s other majors, Bryson DeChambeau won $4.3 million at the U.S. Open. Xander Schauffele won $3.33 million at the PGA Championship and also took home $3.1 million at the Open Championship.

Last month, the Players Championship purse was a whopping $25 million (the third straight year it’s been that number). McIlroy took home the winner’s check of $4.5 million, which is the largest winner’s check in golf (excluding the Tour Championship with its FedEx Cup bonuses).

There is also a new wrinkle to the Masters payout this year: every professional who missed the cut received $25,000 each, a $15,000 increase from last year.

Below is the total purse, payout breakdown and winner’s share for the 2025 Masters.
