Bubba Watson recently concluded the 2014 Masters with a new green jacket. Aside from the coveted coat, he will also bring home $1,440,000. Louis Oosthuizen, in second place, will bring home $864,000, according to report by SB Nation. This means that Watson is $576,000 richer than Oosthuizen after the Masters.
Watson also earns a lifetime exemption into The Masters. Watson now has two green jackets after only three attempts, writes Yahoo! Sports. Details of the cash prizes were disclosed at the Augusta National Golf Course on April 13, 2014.
The four third-placers will split their pot money and will each be receiving $284,000. Tied for third are Phil Mickelson, Lee Westwood, Peter Hanson and Matt Kuchar. Ian Poulter, at 7th place will get $268,000. The three 8th placers will also split $732,000, each getting $244,000 after. The three golfers that round out the top ten were Adam Scott, Justin Rose and Padraig Harrington. All 50 placers will receive cash prizes, except for Oliver Gross who cannot claim any, since he is an amateur player.
