Winning one of golf’s four majors is an incredible achievement, but there is something special about finishing at the top of the Masters standings. The previous year’s winner placing the green jacket over the most recent champion is one of the coolest traditions in the sport.
Oh, and bringing home a gigantic check must be pretty cool, too.
Even for golfers who aren’t performing well at Augusta National, making the cut and playing four rounds can result in a solid payout. Last year, the four players who tied for 51st each walked away with $ 28,003 – not bad at all for a few days of work.
What about this year’s event? Here’s the full breakdown of the 2021 Masters Tournament handbag, including how much money the winner will win.

Masters Tournament 2021 Purse
The handbag at the Masters 2021 should be the same as last year: $ 11.5 million. It’s the second-largest handbag of all the greats, behind just $ 12.5 million in the US Open.
How much money does the winner make?
Based on this total, the winner’s share of the cash prize would be $ 2.07 million, the same thing Dustin Johnson brought home in November.
