Scottie Scheffler has officially completed one of the most impressive feats in professional golf after winning the 2024 Masters Tournament over the weekend for the second time in his career.

And Scheffler will be paid handsomely for his efforts.

The Masters prize purse, which is funded by Augusta National (the golf course where the tournament takes place in Georgia) is estimated to be $20 million — an increase of $2 million from 2023 and $5 million from when Scheffler last clinched the green jacket in 2022.

"Around this golf course, you have to stay aggressive. You have to hit the right shots," Scheffler said during a press conference following his win. "There's no way around it out here. You can't play too defensive, and you can't play too aggressive. You just have to hit the right shots. And fortunately today I was able to do that."

According to Spotrac, Scheffler's PGA Tour earnings for 2024 are now at a total of $15.1 million.
