Masters winner's money went from $1,500 in 1934 to $4.2 million in 2025
Masters winner's money went from $1,500 in 1934 to $4.2 million in 2025 When Horton Smith won the first Masters – it was called the Augusta National Invitation Tournament then – he was awarded a prize of $1,500. In 2025, the winner will take home (before taxes) $4.2 million. The total purse for the 2025 Masters is $21 million, a $1 million increase from a year ago. The first-place prize is up $600,000 from last year. That continues a trend, as the top prize has increased every year since 2021 and, in all, 54 times over an 89-year span. How Masters first-place prize money payouts have increased 1934: $1,500 The inaugural event featured a $5,000 purse and $1,500 winner's share, which went to Smith. Those amounts stayed the same for the first five playings of the tournament. 1946: $2,500 The Masters to be played after three-year hiatus during World War II saw Herman Keiser take home a $2,500 prize. 1958 - $11,250 Arnold Palmer took home the first five-figure payday. 1984: $108,000 Masters money reached six figures in the mid-80s with Ben Crenshaw the first to claim that milestone. A 60-foot birdie putt on No. 10 highlighted his final-round 68. 1989: $200,000 Just five years later and the top prize had nearly doubled, with Nick Faldo winning the first of his three green jackets. 1998: $576,000 The first time the winner got more than a half a million dollars is when Mark O'Meara won the Masters in his 15th attempt, which was a then-record for most appearances before a victory. 2001: $1,008,000 Tiger Woods is the first Masters champ to clear a million bucks for winning at Augusta National. 2019: $2,070,000 Woods was also the first to earn a check for more than $2 million at Augusta. 2023: $3,240,000 Jon Rahm is the Masters first $3 million man. 2025: $4,200,000 This year's winner will be the Masters first $4 million man. Masters first-place prize money year-by-year, 1934 to 2025 2025: $4,200,000 2024: $3,600,000 2023: $3,240,000 2022: $2,700,000 2021: $2,070,000 2020: $2,070,000 2019: $2,070,000 2018: $1,980,000 2017: $1,980,000 2016: $1,800,000 2015: $1,800,000 2014: $1,620,000 2013: $1,440,000 2012: $1,440,000 2011: $1,440,000 2010: $1,350,000 2009: $1,350,000 2008: $1,350,000 2007: $1,305,000 2006: $1,260,000 2005: $1,260,000 2004: $1,117,000 2003: $1,080,000 2002: $1,008,000 2001: $1,008,000 2000: $828,000 1999: $720,000 1998: $576,000 1997: $486,000 1996: $450,000 1995: $396,000 1994: $360,000 1993: $306,000 1992: $270,000 1991: $243,000 1990: $225,000 1989: $200,000 1988: $183,800 1987: $162,000 1986: $144,000 1985: $126,000 1984: $108,000 1983 ;$90,000 1982: $64,000 1981: $60,000 1980: $55,000 1979: $50,000 1978: $45,000 1977: $40,000 1976: $40,000 1975: $40,000 1974: $35,000 1973: $30,000 1972: $25,000 1971: $25,000 1970: $25,000 1969: $20,000 1968: $20,000 1967: $20,000 1966: $20,000 1965: $20,000 1964: $20,000 1963: $20,000 1962: $20,000 1961: $20,000 1960: $17,500 1959: $15,000 1958: $11,250 1957: $8,750 1956: $6,000 1955: $5,000 1954: $5,000 1953: $4,000 1952: $4,000 1951: $3,000 1950: $2,400 1949: $2,750 1948: $2,500 1947: $2,500 1946: $2,500 1942: $1,500 1941: $1,50 1940: $1,500 1939: $1,500 1938: $1,500 1937: $1,500 1936: $1,500 1935: $1,500 1934: $1,500
