The Masters is all about prestige. Few events in world sport provide a moment anywhere close to matching the satisfaction of sliding a green jacket over the winner's shoulders.

However, let's be frank: a green jacket isn't paying the bills, keeping the lights on, or helping you construct a few greens in your back garden.

The Masters offers more than honour and glory, it offers a massive pay cheque to anyone who dares to creep into contention during the final round.

Rory McIlroy didn't just win The Masters in 2025, he didn't just complete a career slam with that final putt, he earned over $4 million in the process.

RadioTimes.com brings you all the details for The Masters 2026 prize money.
