Winning the 2018 Masters is a nice gig, if you can get it. Heck, finishing 15th at the Masters is a nice gig, if you can get it. Augusta National announced on Saturday that — for the second year in a row — its purse is $11 million with nearly $2 million going to the winner and over $1 million going to the poor sap who finishes second.
Just for finishing 50th, you’re guaranteed to make nearly $30,000. Here’s a look at what the top 50 finishers at the 2018 Masters will be paid in prize money. CBS Sports will update this list with the respective golfers who finish in each position once the Masters concludes on Sunday.
