Masters Payout 2019: Latest Projections for Top Prize-Money Earners

The green jacket and a place in the annals of golf history are often considered the top prizes that go along with winning the Masters.

However, there's a lot more to gaining the first major championship of the year than making a fashion statement and finding your name mentioned in the same breath as Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus.

There's a huge cash prize that goes along with the title, and that amount grows nearly every year.

This year, the Masters will pay out $11.5 million in prize money, $500,000 more than last year, per Golf Digest.
