The Total Payout
Money will be flying from all corners at the conclusion of the 2018 Masters, as the purse total for this event is set at $11 million. That’s more than double the amount Dallas Mavericks power forward and future basketball Hall of Famer Dirk Nowitzki is making this season in the NBA, so you get the idea how much is being contested in Augusta this week. The champion goes home with $1.98 million dollars, which is also almost $2 million more than what Sergio Garcia pocketed last year when he topped the field at the 2017 Masters. The second place will inject his bank account with $1.188 million, while the third-placer will deliver the good news to his wife that they are $748,000 richer. Not too shabby. Even golfers who will miss the cut will make $10,000. Ah, to be good at golf.
