The 2022 Masters have wrapped up, with Scottie Scheffler taking home the green jacket this year, finishing several strokes up on the field.
Scheffler gets more than just a green jacket for winning, too.
The Masters released its payout structure ahead of this year’s tournament. Scheffler will be taking home a multi-million dollar check following his win at Augusta National this weekend.

From Morning Read:
Augusta National officials have announced a $15 million purse for the 2022 Masters, with $2.7 million to the winner. Solo second and third finishers would also take home seven figures, at $1.62 million and $1.02 million (in the event of ties, the money is split).
Purses in golf have been on an upward trend of late. Last month’s Players Championship, the most prestigious event held by the PGA Tour, had a record $20 million purse. Winner Cameron Smith took home $3.6 million, while runner-up Anirban Lahiri won $2.18 million.
The green jacket surely means more to Scheffler than the check does, but it’s a pretty nice secondary prize, that’s for sure.
The final coverage of The Masters is airing on CBS.
