Okay, so I wanted to see what the deal was with the prize money for the Masters in 2024. I’m not a huge golf guy, but I heard it was a big number this year and wanted to dig in a little.
First thing I did was fire up the old search engine and start looking around. I typed in “Masters 2024 prize money” and started sifting through the results. I saw a bunch of different articles and stuff talking about it, but I just wanted the basic facts. No need to read through paragraphs after paragraphs of these articles.
After a little bit of digging, I found out that the total purse for the tournament was a whopping $20 million. Can you believe that? $20 million! That’s the biggest purse in the history of the Masters. I mean, that’s just crazy money. So I kept digging to see how much of that the winner would get.
It turns out that the winner, some dude named Scottie Scheffler, took home a cool $3.6 million. That’s a record high for the winner’s share. I guess this Scheffler guy is pretty good, huh? He won a huge amount of money. Just think about that, $3.6 million for playing golf for a few days. I wish I could be that lucky!
I also saw that the prize money had been going up a lot in the last few years. Like, back in 2021, the winner only got $2.07 million. That’s still a ton of money, but it’s way less than what Scheffler got this year.
Here’s a quick rundown of what I found:
- Total purse: $20 million
- Winner’s share: $3.6 million
- Winner: Scottie Scheffler
- Location:Augusta National Golf Club
So yeah, that’s the scoop on the Masters prize money for 2024. It’s a boatload of cash, and it looks like it’s only going to keep getting bigger. Maybe I should take up golf…
