Rory McIlroy claimed his second consecutive Masters title on Sunday, pocketing a hefty $4.5 million prize along with the coveted green jacket. The victory marks McIlroy’s sixth major championship, placing him in elite company as only the fourth golfer in Masters history to win back-to-back titles, joining legends Jack Nicklaus (’65, ’66), Nick Faldo (’89, ’90) and Tiger Woods (’01, ’02).
Runner-up Scottie Scheffler didn’t leave Augusta empty-handed, taking home $2.43 million. The four players who tied for third — Tyrrell Hatton, Russell Henley, Justin Rose and Cameron Young — each earned $1.08 million for their efforts.
Sunday’s final round proved costly for several contenders. Shane Lowry, who started the day alone in fourth at 9-under, stumbled to an 8-over 80 that dropped him to T-30, costing him nearly $934,000 in potential earnings.
Haotong Li experienced one of the day’s most dramatic slides. After beginning the round tied for seventh, Li posted a disastrous scorecard featuring a quintuple bogey, triple bogey and five single bogeys. His fall to T-38 translated to a difference of $624,375 in lost earnings.
