This is how high the record prize money is in 2025
The US Masters in Augusta is not only known for its traditions but also for its special prize money policy. While other majors already publish their prize money structure in advance, the prize money at the US Masters is traditionally only announced after the cut. This year, it amounts to a total of 21 million dollars – the highest amount ever awarded in the history of the tournament. It surpasses last year’s record prize money by 1 million dollars. The winner receives 4.2 million dollars, the runner-up can look forward to 2.268 million dollars. Third place brings 1.428 million dollars. But even beyond the podium, the payout remains above the million mark: fourth place is rewarded with 1.008 million dollars.
