9 Perks Of Winning The Masters
When you become a Major champion, lots of doors open. However, the perks of winning The Masters, and the extras that come with pulling on the Green Jacket, are something else.
Perks Of Winning The Masters
1. The Masters Trophy
Let’s be honest, some golf trophies don’t look all that. The Masters Trophy, which depicts the Augusta National clubhouse, is different. The winner gets a sterling silver replica to keep.

2. A Gold Medal
The medal is 3.4 inches in diameter and features a view of the clubhouse from behind the Founders Circle. So, if you win the Masters, you receive a silver trophy, a gold medal and, should you make an eagle, a bit of crystal – and that’s before you get your prize money
3. A Cheque For $2,070,000 (£1.57m)
The prize fund for the Masters is, as of November 2020, $11.5m. Whoever wins will trouser a whopping $2,070,000 (£1.57m) – not bad for a week’s work.
4. The Green Jacket
Of course, the winner gets to pull on the coveted Green Jacket itself. With an extra couple of million in the bank, the winner can afford to go on a shopping spree, but no amount of money can buy you this item of clothing- a custom fit, members-and-winners only green jacket.
5. Choosing The Champions Dinner
When you’re a winner, you get to set the menu the following year for the Champions Dinner. Dustin Johnson set the Masters Champions Dinner following his incredible 2020 victory. It must be lovely to know that whatever the week has in store for you, you’ll at least have that wonderful evening eating delightful food in the company of your fellow champions. A perk like no other.
6. A Special Invite
We’re not talking about television invites, although you’ll certainly get those too. No, you’ll receive an invitation to attend The Masters every year after that. It’s why we still get to watch the likes of Fred Couples, Bernhard Langer and Sandy Lyle roll back the years at Augusta.
