This Thursday, April 6 begins the Masters Augusta 2023 in Georgia, USA. As in every year since its creation in 1934, this golf tournament, the first Major of the season, brings together the best in the discipline. Everyone wants to win this competition and wear the mythical green jacket, without counting, of course, victory bonus, which is substantial.
A $2.7 million bounty for the winner of the 2023 Augusta Masters
On the occasion of this 87th edition of the Masters Augusta, the total prize money, distributed among the first 50 golfers who receive a bonus according to their performance, is 15 million dollars, or 13.742 million euros. The winner wins 2.7 million dollars, which corresponds to 2.475 million euros according to the current conversion rate. For his part, the 50th receives 36,900 dollars (33,816 euros). Defending champion, Scottie Scheffler will obviously want to achieve the double by winning this legendary tournament.
Scottie Scheffler, favorite for Augusta Masters 2023
As world number one, Scheffler is among the favorites to victory. If he were to win this Grand Slam again, he would become the second player to achieve this performance, after Tiger Woods who had triumphed twice in a row on this circuit in 2001 and 2002. To follow in the footsteps of his idol, he will have to fight and face formidable competitors, including Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, or even Cameron Smith. As the saying goes, you should never underestimate the heart of a champion, that’s why you will also have to pay attention to Tiger Woods, who will also be there and will try to win his sixth trophy at Augusta.
