The Masters 2016: Breakdown of the prize money

A look at the prize money players will receive for the 2016 Masters tournament after Sunday

After what has been yet another exciting weekend, we’ve finally come to one of the most anticipated Sundays of the entire year as the fourth and final round of The Masters is about to take place. Some of the best golfers in the world will take to the Augusta course one more time to vie for that elusive green jacket.

However, while it might be the most prestigious part, the green jacket isn’t the only thing that these golfers are rewarded with. No, of course, with this being the biggest golf tournament of the year, there are some financial implications as well. If you do well enough on the Georgia course, you’re set to walk away with a lot of money.

That being said, just what does the prize money breakdown look like for the 2016 Masters tournament? Well, via CBS, here’s a look at the breakdown of the $10 million purse.
