Scottie Scheffler secures victory at Augusta National, earning $3.6 million in prize money. He held off Ludvig Åberg and Collin Morikawa to claim his second green jacket.
Scottie Scheffler left Augusta National with a second green jacket and his head held high as he held off Ludvig Åberg, Collin Morikawa and others to secure the victory. Not to mention, his wallet was a little heavier too. Scheffler earned $3.6 million for his troubles. It was the winner’s share of a $20 million purse for the golfer who won the tournament. The share was increased from the $3.24 million Jon Rahm received when he won in 2023.
Scheffler’s 2022 prize money was $2.7 million. He started to pull away as he went from the front nine to the back nine, nailing three straight birdies. He then had birdies on 13, 14 and 16. It pushed him further ahead of Åberg. "Enjoy the lead? No. I think, just like any human would, your mind starts to wander a little bit out there on the golf course. I mean, we're out there for four or five hours at a time," Scheffler said. "You got to let your mind wander.
If I was just trying to make pars the whole back nine, I would have been standing on 18 having to make par and hoping Ludvig would only make a par. "Around this golf course you have to stay aggressive. You have to hit the right shots. There's no way around it out here. You can't play too defensive, and you can't play too aggressive. You just have to hit the right shots. And fortunately today I was able to do that." He was 11-under for the tournament.
