Augusta. The 2024 Augusta Masters will distribute a record $20 million in prize money, with $3.6 million going to the winner of Sunday’s green jacket, Augusta National announced Saturday.
The purse total surpasses last year’s $18 million, of which Spanish winner Jon Rahm took home $3.24 million.
Just two years ago, Augusta National increased the prize money from $11.4 million to $15 million for the 2022 Masters won by Scottie Scheffler, the current world number one who shares the 36-hole Masters lead with his American compatriots Max Homa and Bryson DeChambeau.
The runner-up in this year’s Masters will receive $2.16 million and third place will pay $1.36 million.
But the Masters’ total payout is still dwarfed by events in the Saudi-backed LIV Golf League: The PGA Tour’s Players Championship offered a $25 million purse last month, of which Scheffler won the top prize. of 4.5 million dollars.
