2012 Masters Purse: How Much Did Bubba Watson Earn With His Win?
UPDATE: 2014 MASTERS PAYOUT
Edit: Here is the full 2013 Masters prize money list.
A jacket isn’t the only green thing you get after winning the Masters: there’s also money. Lots and lots of money. Bubba Watson’s playoff win over Louis Oosthuizen earned him $1,440,000 - or $576,000 more than Oosthuizen made. Those in the four-way tie for third will earn $284,000, a split of the third-, fourth-, fifth- and sixth-place pots.
