Rory McIlroy won the Masters in 2025 and banked $4.2 million, which is a tournament record.
The overall purse for the major at Augusta National has increased to $21 million from $20 million in 2024, and the winner will receive $600,000 more than what Scottie Scheffler won 12 months ago.
McIlroy tied with Justin Rose on 11-under after an unbelievable 18 holes during which looked like both players had it wrapped up. McIlroy needed a par to win the Masters on 18 but made a bogey.
But after Justin Rose missed his birdie putt on the first playoff hole on 18, McIlroy dropped his three-footer in and sunk to his knees. He became the sixth player to win the career grand slam.
In 2025, the runner-up prize was $2,268,000, and the player in third place was allocated $1,428,000. This obviously varied for ties, so we have outlined the split below.
The USGA slapped $21.5 million on the table for the US Open in 2024 and $4.3 million for the winner, which was the richest payout in major championship history.
Let’s take a full look at the breakdown of the 2025 prize money and the previous Masters prize money purses.
