Masters cut line 2025: Who made, missed cut at Augusta National
Top of the leaderboard is chock-full of superstars, a number of big names aren't going to make the weekend at the famed Augusta National Golf Club.
Winning the Masters Tournament is about more than money for the best golfers in the world. There's a green jacket that comes with it too, of course. But the prestige of being crowned champion during the season's first major at prestigious Augusta National Golf Club lasts forever, and the lifetime exemption to play in the Masters each winner earns serves as proof over the years.
There's nonetheless still a lot of money at stake for the contenders this weekend. The Masters announced Saturday that this year's purse will be $21 million, with the winner on Sunday earning $4.2 million. That's an increase from last year's record amount, when there was a total payout of $20 million for the golfers that made the cut and defending Masters champion Scottie Scheffler earned $3.6 million for winning his second green jacket.
Here's a breakdown of how this year's Masters purse will be doled out when the final round concludes on Sunday, as well as what the payouts and prize money have been in previous years at Augusta National Golf Club:

After 2 straight missed cuts in majors, Brooks Koepka is in early contention at Oakmont
OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) — Brooks Koepka admitted he's owed his share of apologies over the past couple months. Missing the cut at majors doesn't sit well with him. 'I would say from the first weekend in April until about last week, you didn't want to be around me,' he said Thursday after the first round of the U.S. Open. 'It drove me nuts. It ate at me. I haven't been happy. It's been very irritating.' Koepka's mood should be better if he can produce three more rounds like this. He shot a 2-under 68 at Oakmont, which left him in a tie for third, two strokes behind leader J.J. Spaun . Koepka made a 42-foot putt for eagle on the par-5 fourth, and after falling back to even par, he finished with birdies on Nos. 17 and 18. 'I thought I played pretty consistent, drove it really well. Iron play was pretty good. When I did miss it, I felt like I missed it in the correct spots. A couple of good bunker shots,' Koepka said. 'I'm really happy with the way I finished, and hopefully it leads into tomorrow.' Koepka missed the cut at both the Masters and PGA Championship this year. He owns five major titles, but he hasn't finished in the top 10 in one since winning the PGA Championship in 2023 at Oak Hill. His last LIV Golf victory was August of last year. So he's had plenty of reasons to be frustrated. And his coach, Pete Cowan, has had reasons to be exasperated with him. Koepka said Cowan gave him a good scolding in a bunker Monday. '(Justin Thomas) thought he had to come check on me in the bunker. We were in there for about 45 minutes, and he was on the other side of the green,' Koepka said. 'I wasn't happy with it, but it was something I think you need to hear or I needed to hear at the right time. It's not the first time he's done it.' That honesty is important to Koepka. 'I don't like having 'yes' people around me. I just want somebody to tell me the truth, tell me what's going on, what they see,' he said. 'If I start swaying from being Brooks Koepka, then I want someone to call me out on it.' On a day when only 10 players shot under par — and only two finished ahead of Koepka — there was plenty to be pleased with. 'I feel good. It's nice to put a good round together. It's been a while,' Koepka said. 'I've been working hard, just got into some bad habits and bad swing positions. We worked pretty hard last week.' ___ AP golf:

Scottie Scheffler has frustrating day at the US Open to fall 7 shots off the pace
OAKMONT, Pa. — Scottie Scheffler kept coming back to the same answer when asked in different ways how a day that began with optimism at the U.S. Open turned into a 5 1/2-hour slog that left him well off the front page of the leaderboard. 'I've probably got to give myself a few more looks,' the world's top-ranked player said Thursday after a 3-over 73 left him seven shots behind front-runner J.J. Spaun . Scheffler was talking about looks for reasonable birdie putts. Those didn't happen nearly enough during 5 1/2 often arduous hours at Oakmont. As for plain old 'looks,' however, well the three-time major winner had those in abundance. Looks of frustration, like when his drive on the par-5 12th landed in the middle of a fairway that slopes massively from left to right and kept rolling, and rolling, and rolling until it was in the first cut of the course's signature ankle-deep rough. Looks of bafflement, like when his 6-foot par putt at the par-3 13th slid by, causing him to put his hand over his mouth and turn to caddie Ted Scott as if to say, 'What just happened?' Looks of anger, like when his wedge from 83 yards on the easy (by Oakmont standards) par-4 14th landed 40 feet past the hole. Scheffler slammed the club into the ground before collecting himself to two-putt. Looks of annoyance. When his 12-foot birdie attempt at the par-4 17th lipped out, Scheffler bent over, pressed his hands on his knees and appeared to sigh before standing back up. That doesn't even include what he described as 'sloppy' bogeys on the par-4 third and par-5 fourth, when he found the sand off the tee. It added up to tying his worst opening round in a major ever. He did that at the 2021 Masters, a year before he began a run of dominance not seen since Tiger Woods' prime two decades ago. Heck, he even managed a 1-under 69 at Oakmont as a 19-year-old amateur in 2016. Nine years later, Scheffler's life is very different. When he walked out of the scoring area in the late spring twilight, toddler son Bennett and wife Meredith and other members of his family were waiting. The course, however, remains the same physically and mentally draining task it has always been. There's a reason Scheffler teed off at 1:25 p.m. and didn't tap in for par on 18 until 6:52 p.m. even though there wasn't a hint of rain, or wind or any other external factors to gum up the works. There was only Oakmont being Oakmont. The fairways that Spaun navigated to a 4-under 66 in the morning dried up throughout the kind of muggy, sun-baked day that's been uncommon during Western Pennsylvania's very cool and very wet spring. Scheffler only made two putts over 10 feet, none over the final seven holes and three-putted the par-3 13th. How? He has no idea. Yet he also knows one middling round doesn't necessarily ruin his chances of winning the third leg of the grand slam. Play a little 'sharper' in the second round, and he thinks he might be in a better position come the weekend. 'When you're playing these types of tests that are this challenging, there's usually still a way to score,' he said. He might to find them sooner rather than later. In each of Scheffler's 16 PGA Tour victories, he found himself inside the top 30 after 18 holes. He'll be outside that number when he puts his tee in the ground at No. 10 on Friday morning to start his second round. 'I'll clean up some of those mistakes, a couple three putts and stuff like that,' he said. 'And I think tomorrow will be a better day.' ___ AP golf:
