Masters Tournament Raises Prize Money to Record $21 Million

The 2025 Masters Tournament at Augusta National is set to feature a record total purse of $21 million, an increase from $20 million in 2024. The winner will receive a prize of $4.2 million, a significant rise from last year's $3.6 million. Additionally, all golfers who miss the cut will be compensated with a minimum of $25,000, marking a shift in prize distribution to support all participants. This year's purse continues to position the Masters as one of the richest tournaments in professional golf, although it still falls short of the 2024 U.S. Open's $21.5 million. The Masters remains competitive compared to other major tournaments, with the Players Championship leading at $25 million. The excitement builds as top players, including Rory McIlroy, compete for the coveted green jacket and significant cash prizes.
