How Much Prize Money Rory McIlroy Won At The Masters
A record payout was available at the Augusta National Major - here is how much Rory McIlroy won


It was a rollercoaster final round at The Masters, with Bryson DeChambeau quickly overturning Rory McIlroy's two-shot lead before the Ulsterman asserted some authority on proceedings after an uncertain start.
Even with a supposedly commanding advantage, though, there was drama ahead, with the chasing pack, which by that point included DeChambeau, smelling blood after McIlroy's second double-bogey of the day at the 13th to leave the destination of the title in the balance until the end.
Justin Rose briefly took the lead over McIlroy before the latter once again got his nose in front following one of the shots of his career, which led to a birdie at the 15th, but, needing just a par on the 18th to deny Rose his chance, McIlroy pushed the crucial putt left to open the door the first playoff since 2017, which also involved Rose.
Back then, he lost to Sergio Garcia, not helped by a wayward tee shot, and this time, he didn't put a foot wrong, with a beautiful approach leaving him a chance of birdie. However, McIlroy matched his second shot and then some. Rose made par, but it wasn't enough. This time, McIlroy didn't miss as he finally claimed his maiden Green Jacket.
Not only does that elevate him to the position of a golfing immortal as just the sixth player in history to claim a career Grand Slam, it also gives him a huge payday.
McIlroy claims $4.2m for his victory from a record purse of $21m, while Rose settles for $2.268m.
Below is the full prize money payout for the 2025 Masters.
