The perks of winning the Masters range from the green jacket, a silver replica of the Augusta National clubhouse, exemptions into any tournament you want and, of course, a whole bunch of money.

The Masters announced a purse increase this year from $18 million to $20 million, which also ups the winner’s share to $3.6 million, tying a major championship record. Last year’s winner, Jon Rahm received a modest $3.24 million.

Winning shares at the Masters have increased considerably since Tiger Woods took home $486,000 for his iconic win in 1997. Woods became the first player ever to win $1 million by winning the Masters in 2001 when the winner’s share was $1,008,000.

The winning check slowly climbed over the next 18 years, before (you guessed it) Tiger Woods became the first winner to earn $2 million in a win, clearing $2,070,000 in 2019. The purse then increased each of the last three years.

And in case you’re wondering, the first Masters winner to earn $100,000 was Ben Crenshaw with $108,000 only 39 years ago in 1984. Since that year, the winner’s share has increased by nearly 3,600 percent.

You can stream the final round of the Masters via ESPN+, Masters.com and the Masters App, or you can watch the telecast on CBS starting at 2 p.m. ET for the final round.
