The 2023 Masters winner will receive $2.7 million, tying the most money ever given to the winner. Scottie Scheffler won the same amount last year. The total purse was $15 million.
The first time the prize money for the winner crossed into the $2 million range was in 2019, when Tiger Woods pulled off one of the most shocking wins in the history of the tournament. He finished 13-under and one stroke ahead of Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and Xander Schauffele.

Woods was also the first million-dollar winner of the tournament. He won $1.008 million in 2001 when he held off David Duvall by two strokes. Duval picked up $604,000 for his efforts. The last winner to receive under $1 million was Vijay Singh in 2000.
Scheffler is the defending champion. It was his first green jacket and he topped Rory McIlroy by three strokes. He won four times in 2022 and has already won twice in 2023.
The Masters started Thursday and runs through Sunday.
