For the first time in the history of the Masters, the winner will get a cheque for more than $2m to stuff into the inside pocket of the Green Jacket.
ÂŁ2,070,000 to be precise.
Thatâs more than some of the players in the field this week â such as Japanâs Satoshi Kodaira â have earned in their entire PGA Tour careers to date.
Itâs also up by $90,000 on the money Patrick Reed banked for winning the tournament last year.Â

The money on offer for winning the first menâs major championship has increased exponentially since Horton Smith won $1,500 for claiming the inaugural edition in 1934.Â
