AUGUSTA, Ga. — The Augusta National Golf Club has announced that the total prize money for professionals competing in the 2025 Masters Tournament is $21 million, up one million from last year, when Scottie Scheffler won his second Green Jacket. Whoever wins this year’s Masters Tournament will receive $4.2 million, a Green Jacket, and a replica of the Clubhouse Trophy. The club will award the second-place finisher with $2.268 million. Based on last year’s majors, The Masters ranked only behind the U.S. Open in total prize money. The 124th U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 had a purse of $21.5 million while the PGA Championship at Valhalla had $18.5 million. The R&A, which facilitated The Open Championship at Royal Troon, announced a purse size of $17 million ahead of the final major of the season.

A total of 53 players made the 36-cut at 2-over par. Ninety-five players began this tournament on Thursday morning, and 42 players failed to make the weekend, including the likes of Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia, Brooks Koepka, Tony Finau, Adam Scott, Sepp Straka, Billy Horschel, Phil Mickelson, Nicolai Højgaard, Will Zalatoris, and Nick Dunlap. Bernhard Langer and Fred Couples, a pair of former Masters winners, barely missed the cut — for them to make the weekend would have been a remarkable accomplishment. Anyone who missed the cut at this year’s Masters received $25,000 from the club. Jack Milko is a golf staff writer for SB Nation’s Playing Through. Follow him on X @jack_milko.
