Masters Payout 2022: Overview of Final Prize-Money Payouts from Augusta
Though there was some excitement at the end of Sunday's Masters final round, Scottie Scheffler's win was rarely in doubt.
The 25-year-old's lead was never less than three strokes, and he held off a surging Rory McIlroy and top competition Cameron Smith with four birdies and 12 pars Sunday, shooting one under on the day and finishing 10 under on the tournament to win his first major championship.
Smith was three shots behind Scheffler heading into Sunday's final round, but he torpedoed his chances with bogeys on the third, fourth and 10th holes and a triple bogey on the 12th to seal his fate.
Scheffler enjoyed an incredible run leading into this year's Masters, winning three of his last five events. With his win at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, Scheffler claimed world No. 1, setting a new record for the fastest climb from first PGA Tour title to reaching the top spot, in 42 days. The previous record was held by Tiger Woods, who did it in 252 days.
Scheffler's previous best finish at Augusta came last year, when he tied for 18th.
After starting the final round at one over, McIlroy staged a comeback that saw him finish one stroke shy of breaking the tournament record for the final round with a 64 and in second place overall. McIlroy's run was highlighted by his chip-in for birdie from the 18th bunker.
Woods finished his final round six over at 78, concluding his tournament at 13 over. "I didn't play my best out there, but just to have the support and appreciation from all the fans, I don't think words can describe that," Woods tweeted, congratulating Scheffler.
There was much on the line in this year's tournament, which boasted a record-high $15 million purse. Scheffler's share is $2.7 million. McIlroy claimed $1.62 million in second, and Smith and Shane Lowry each took home $870,000 in a tie for third.
