The 2025 Masters Tournament is this week with Scottie Scheffler looking to defend his title as the reigning champion. While winning the masters itself, earning the iconic green jacket and the permanent Masters Trophy are coveted prizes, there’s also a huge payout.
While the PGA has received plenty of criticism from golfers over the relatively modest payouts for its tournaments, The Masters has one of the biggest purses on the PGA Tour. The total prize money is even higher in 2025, with the winner taking home more than $3 million, while more than two dozen golfers will leave with more than $100,000 for a weekend of golf.
