Now that the dust has settled on this year’s Masters, with Jon Rahm emerging as the victor, it’s time to update the all-time top earners list from the prestigious event.

Much like the leaderboard at Augusta National all weekend long — which saw lots of movement — the all-time top earners list has seen a few changes since last year.

One new addition to the list? Rahm, who earned a payout of $3,240,000 after his 2023 Masters win, which came in his 7th appearance. He’s now earned $5,063,017 at Augusta in his career.

However, another notable name on the top earners list is Phil Mickelson, with the 52 year old now sitting atop the list following a remarkable T2 finish in this year’s Masters. But there are plenty of others who have moved up and down the list — like Scottie Scheffler (who sits 14th despite only four Masters appearances).

For those wondering, the first Masters winner to earn over six-figures was Ben Crenshaw ($108,000) in 1984. Since then, the winner’s share has increased a whopping 3,000 percent.

So check out the top 20 all-time money leaders below, which includes some of the biggest names in recent history as prize purses have increased. For reference below, player appearances listed in parentheses.
