Someone’s going to put on a green jacket on Sunday at the 2021 Masters, but that same golfer will also win over $2 million. Both are nice perks to winning the biggest golf tournament in the world.
Augusta National released its payout breakdown for the 2021 Masters, and the total purse and payout breakdown is the same as it was for the 2021 November Masters, which Dustin Johnson won.
The total purse is $11.5 million, with the winner getting $2.07 million. Second place takes home $1.242 million. Rounding out the top five: third place receives $782,000, fourth gets $552,000, and fifth brings home $460,000.
The complete Masters payout breakdown for the top 50 is below. After the top 50, the remaining pros earn yet-to-be-announced increments, starting with $28,290 for 51st.
