The Masters 2024 prize money: How much does the winner take home from Augusta National?

THE Masters is back this week with 88 of the world’s best golfers competing at Augusta National.

Last year saw Jon Rahm claim the first Green Jacket of his career after finishing 12-under par.

Jon Rahm is currently Masters championREUTERS

The Spaniard was neck and neck with Brookes Koepka on the final day but finished four strokes better than his LIV Golf colleague.

Scottie Scheffler is the early favourite heading into the 2024 Masters as the World No1 looks to secure his second Green Jacket.

Rory McIlroy will be aiming to end his 10-year Major draught and claim a golf Grand Slam in the process.
