Augusta National announced on Saturday morning that the purse for the 2018 Masters is $11 million, with $1.98 million going to the winner -- the same as a year ago.

The second-place finisher will receive $1.188 million and anyone in the top 24 will earn a minimum of $100,000.
 

Every player after 50th place earns money starting at $27,060 for 51st place and going down to complete the 53-player weekend field (not including Doug Ghim, the only amateur to make the cut).

Those who miss the cut still get $10,000 (again, not including amateurs).
Here's a complete breakdown: 

It's worth noting that the payout for all players is larger than most events because the Masters field is so small. Only 87 players teed it up at Augusta National on Thursday. 

A regular PGA Tour event typically features a 156-player field, as do the other three majors.
