If you could ask any golfer teeing it up at Augusta National whether they'd be given $4.2m or a Green Jacket, the chances are they'd almost all take the latter.
The winner of the US Masters, however, will receive both. While the top players are clearing $10m a year, and even the average PGA Tour professional finishes the year with around $2m, nothing in the game compares to the prestige and gravitas of a priceless Green Jacket.
Of course, it's not just a bumper pay day for the winner, with the top four finishers all guaranteed $1m for the week.
Below is a full prize money breakdown from the 2025 US Masters, with how much each player earned at the 2024 US Masters.
