McIlroy is no stranger to winning golf's biggest prizes but his exploits in Augusta will out-weigh anything he's achieved in his career so far.

And while cash will not have been on the 35-year-old's mind, he has secured a huge cheque.

The Masters 2025: Prize money 

The 2025 Masters prize pot is $21million (£16million) - the most in the tournament's 89-year history.

In 2024, the Masters and Augusta National broke records for putting up the largest ever amount of money seen at the event.

Rose took home $2.2m for his runner-up place while Patrick Reed claimed $1.4m in third.

While Scheffler was not at his best this year, he still clinched an impressive fourth and with it, won $1m.

Bryson DeChambeau and Sung-jae Im came in fifth to scoop $798,000 and Ludvig Aberg's seventh won him £700,000.

Aberg did triple-bogey the final hole on Sunday which cost him a cool $717,000.

The caddies don’t leave empty-handed either, picking up 10 percent of the winnings if their man claims the green jacket, seven percent for a top 10 and five percent otherwise.

McIlroy caddie, Harry Diamond, will have taken home $420,000 for their success.
