Don't feel bad for any golfer who didn't win the 2017 Masters Tournament. They're still going to be paid handsomely.
Sergio Garcia won a nail-biter in a playoff Sunday against Justin Rose to win the Masters and earn the elusive green jacket that has eluded him throughout his 20-plus-year career. The Masters triumph is also his first win in a major in 74 tries, snapping the longest drought in golf history, per Golf Channel's Justin Rose.
Playing in the Masters is not all about the money, however. As Jim Nantz of CBS would say, the competition at Augusta National is "a tradition unlike any other."
