For yet another year, the Masters' total prize purse will break records when it's paid out on Sunday following the 2023 tournament.

This year's purse of $18 million up $3 million from 2022's total purse, and champion Jon Rahm's take-home—$3.24 million—is also up from last year's mark of $2.7 million.

The purse has jumped $6.5 million in all in the last two years as the Masters tries to keep up with the Joneses. It still offers the smallest purse of any PGA Tour event; the biggest in 2023, $25 million in The Players Championship, saw Scottie Scheffler take hom $4.5 million.

After multiple weather delays at Augusta National this year—for a brief time, it was uncertain whether play would conclude on Sunday as scheduled—this year's tournament is in the books.

But the weather wasn't the only notable development in Augusta this year. Phil Mickelson recorded his lowest score ever in a final round at the Masters, shooting 65 on Sunday. And unfortunately, Tiger Woods withdrew from the tournament Sunday morning, citing a reaggravation of plantar fasciitis.

But, of course, the biggest news of the weekend was Rahm securing his first ever green jacket in his seventh Masters appearance. Four strokes down to 42-hole leader Brooks Koepka entering the third round on Sunday, which had been delayed for weather, Rahm put on a clinic, going on to win by four shots.

Phil Mickelson and Koepka tied for second place.

Let's take a look at how much Rahm, Mickelson and Koepka, along with the rest of the top 50, will take home following the 87th edition of the Masters.

For players who tied--there were plenty at the top, not just at second--the prize money is split evenly among the tied golfers. So Mickelson and Koepka, for example, split the average of the second- and third-place payments, each taking home about $1.6 million.
