Here's Everything a Player Earns by Winning the Masters

The Green Jacket awarded to the champion of the Masters is one of the most coveted awards in all of sports. But that’s not all the winner at Augusta National gets.

Let’s start with the money. In 2025, the champ will receive $4.2 million of the $21 million purse. A nice little payday.

They also receive a beautiful trophy, a replica of the historic clubhouse that sits perfectly at the top of the property and at the end of Magnolia Lane. Inside the clubhouse a permanent Masters trophy sits in the entrance with the name of each winner inscribed on it. The winner’s is a smaller version, but exactly the same otherwise.

In addition to the silver, winners get a gold medallion with Founders Circle and the Clubhouse featured on the front of it. (Runner-ups get the same medal in silver)

Every winner becomes an honorary member of the club. This isn’t the same as being an actual member, but they’re allowed to play there whenever the course is open and use the members range during the tournament for extra privacy.

This membership comes with entry to the Champions locker room—and ultra exclusive part of AGNC only open to past champions. It's an intimate space with limited lockers that are shared with champions of past eras.

Winning the Masters also comes with admission to the Masters Club—a tradition dating back to 1952 when defending champion Ben Hogan organized a dinner for previous winners. Each year, the defending champion selects the menu and acts as host for the Tuesday night dinner during tournament week.

The host also receives an inscribed gold locket in the form of the Club emblem as certificate of membership in the Masters Club.

On the golf side of things, each champion earns a five-year exemption into the other three major championships. The winner also receives 750 FedEx Cup points.

And for the cherry on top, they are welcome to play in the Masters for as long as they want. This week, Bernhard Langer made his 41st and final appearance in the year’s first major championship.
