The perks of winning the Masters range from the green jacket, a silver replica of the Augusta National clubhouse, exemptions into any tournament you want and, of course, a whole bunch of money.
The Masters announced a purse increase this year from $18 million to $20 million, which also ups the winner’s share to $3.6 million, tying a major championship record. Last year’s winner, Jon Rahm received a modest $3.24 million.
Winning shares at the Masters have increased considerably since Tiger Woods took home $486,000 for his iconic win in 1997. Woods became the first player ever to win $1 million by winning the Masters in 2001 when the winner’s share was $1,008,000.
Tiger Woods’ career-worst Masters round didn’t end the way you’d think
The winning check slowly climbed over the next 18 years, before (you guessed it) Tiger Woods became the first winner to earn $2 million in a win, clearing $2,070,000 in 2019. The purse then increased each of the last three years.
And in case you’re wondering, the first Masters winner to earn $100,000 was Ben Crenshaw with $108,000 only 39 years ago in 1984. Since that year, the winner’s share has increased by nearly 3,600 percent.
