2022 Golf Masters Tournament:
The PGA Tour’s first Major of the year, the Masters, will get underway at Augusta National in Georgia later this week.
As the world’s finest players make their way to the famed course, numerous stories are already taking shape ahead of the start of play.
Will Tiger Woods compete, and if so, will he be able to equal Jack Nicklaus’ record of six victories?
When it comes to achieving a career in the Grand Slam, can Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy match Tiger Woods’ record?
On home turf, will an American win, or will one of Europe’s greatest get a sliver of payback for their Ryder Cup hammering?
The top Asian players, led by Hideki Matsuyama, are back to defend their titles, which they won in 2021.
Whoever succeeds in claiming the Green Jacket will be rewarded with not only immortality and a stunning piece of evening dress, but also a staggering sum of money.
What Is The Prize Fund For The 2022 Masters Tournament
However, it is believed that the prize money for the 2022 edition of The Masters would match or perhaps exceed the amount that was given out in 2021.
Last year’s prize fund was $11,500,000.
If there are any ties in the final leaderboard, as happens frequently in golf tournaments, the prize money will be shared among the players.
After Hideki Matsuyama’s $2 million triumphs in 2021, the winner will take home an unbelievable multi-million dollar reward.
How much will the runner-up at The Masters win in prize money?
When compared to the prize money awarded to the winner, the runner-up will receive a paltry sum.
Nonetheless, Will Zalatoris of the United States earned $1.2 million for his second-place performance at the 2021 World Championships.
There were $667,000 in prize money shared between Xander Schauffele and Jordan Spieth for joint third place last year; Marc Leishman and Jon Rahm each got $437,000 for joint fourth.
Justin Rose of England won $385,250 for finishing seventh in 2021, while Corey Conners and Patrick Reed each earned $345,000 for finishing in eighth place, respectively.
Cameron Smith and Tony Finau finished eighth in 2021, each taking home $299,000 in prize money.
