Scottie Scheffler holds up his trophy at the green jacket ceremony after winning the Masters on April 14, 2024.

When the winner of the Masters Tournament slips on the green jacket Sunday, he might find an extra $600,000 in the pocket.

Tournament officials announced Saturday that the total purse will be $21 million this year, with the winner receiving $4.2 million. That's up from the $3.6 million Scottie Scheffler earned in 2024 when he captured a four-shot victory over Ludvig Aberg of Sweden.

The purse last year was $20 million, which was a record amount. The winner's share has doubled since 2021, when Hideki Matsuyama of Japan won $2.07 million.

The runner-up will win $2.268 million, an increase from the $2.16 million paid to Aberg.

The golfer finishing in 50th place will earn $52,920, with all who didn't make the cut receiving $25,000.
