The 2023 Masters has been one of the most highly anticipated in recent memory as players from LIV Golf and the traditional tours came together for the first time since The 150th Open last July. But how much money is up for grabs at Augusta National?
It's a hot topic in golf at the moment, with the Saudi-funded breakaway circuit offering $25 million at regular events and $50m at the season-ending Team Championship. In response, the PGA Tour created a new series of designated events, upping the money on offer to $20m per tournament and limiting field sizes.
As for the Majors, prize money has been steadily increasing. At last year's Masters, the total purse was $15m, with champion Scottie Scheffler pocketing a cool $2.7m.
At the 2023 Masters, the purse has once again increased, with players competing for a record $18m as well as the highly coveted Green Jacket. That means, for the first time in history, the winner will leave Augusta with more than $3m.
Here's a full breakdown of the prize money on offer at the 2023 Masters:
