AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Winning the Masters is worth far more than any amount of money you could possibly attain for the victory, but boy, that payout is pretty great, too. The 2019 Masters purse is up to $11.5 million from $11 million a year ago, and the winner will receive over $2 million for the first time in the history of the tournament. And while you won't get a green jacket, second place isn't that shabby at $1.24 million, which is more than can be earned by the victor of many PGA Tour events in a given season. The purse is so big, in fact, that this year's third-place finisher will receive as much as the entire field did when Jack Nicklaus won the 1986 Masters. So while one of the last thing a green jacket-earner will be thinking about come Sunday evening (or Monday morning) is how much money will hit his bank account next week, it's still pretty great work ... if you can get it. We are at a blistering pace rolling to a finish at Augusta National, and it is still up in the air who will claim the grand prize. Here's a look at all the prize money and payouts for the 83rd Masters. 2019 Masters prize money, purse, payouts Total purse: $11.5 million Winner -- Tiger Woods: $2,070,000 Runners up (T2) -- Dustin Johnson, Xander Schauffele, Brooks Koepka: $858,666.67 each T5 -- Jason Day, Webb Simpson, Francesco Molinari, Tony Finau: $403,937.50 each T9 -- Jon Rahm, Patrick Cantlay, Rickie Fowler -- $310,500 each T12 -- Bubba Watson, Justin Thomas, Matt Kuchar, Justin Harding, Ian Poulter -- $225,400 each 17th -- Aaron Wise: $184,000 T18 -- Patton Kizire, Phil Mickelson, Adam Scott -- $161,000 each The following are the payouts for the remaining places.

Phillip/Associated Press Years of injury, insult and disappointment came to a remarkable end Sunday afternoon, as Tiger Woods came through on the back nine of the Masters and emerged with a spectacular victory at Augusta National Golf Club that will only enhance his remarkable legend. The victory was his fifth Masters title and the 15th major victory of his brilliant career. It ended a drought of nearly 11 years between major triumphs, as the last had come in 2008 at the U.S. Open. The final stroke of the victory was a short tap-in on the 18th hole, no more than two feet. As the putt sunk to the bottom of the hole, there was an outpouring of emotion from Tiger; the roaring crowd; his mother, two children and girlfriend; and his peers, who congratulated him with hugs and high-fives as he walked into the clubhouse. "It's come full circle," Woods said in Butler Cabin as the green jacket was awarded to him. "In 1997, my dad was there, and now my kids are here. It's overwhelming to win. Last year I was just lucky to be playing. It's unreal to experience this, with mom and my children here." Personal issues, knee injuries, back surgeries and inconsistent play had left Woods searching for his game. A strong recovery in 2018 that included contention in the British Open and PGA Championship served as a precursor to winning the Tour Championship, and that provided a strong notion that Tiger was back.

He finished the tournament with a 13-under-par score of 275, one stroke better than Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and Xander Schauffele. The green jacket and the major title are the main prizes for Tiger, and he also earned a substantial cash reward for finishing atop the leaderboard. Final Masters scoreboard 1.

Patrick Cantlay, $310,500 T-9. Rickie Fowler, $310,500 Tiger's last victory at Augusta had come in 2005, and his 14 years between triumphs broke the record held by the legendary Gary Player, who had gone 13 years between his first and third victories at the Masters in 1961 and 1974. The 15th major triumph of his career means that he has picked up his pursuit of the record 18 major triumphs held by Jack Nicklaus. Whether he can reach that or not will be determined, but now that his long dry spell has ended, he at least has a chance. Woods spent the majority of the Masters weekend chasing Francesco Molinari, but the third-round leader fell badly during the second nine with two double bogeys and one bogey. Dustin Johnson, Patrick Cantlay, Brooks Koepka and Xander Schauffele all made solid runs during Sunday's decisive round, but none were able to sustain that excellence. In the end, it was the remarkable comeback and triumph of Tiger Woods that will live on for years—a win that many thought would never happen again, but he came through, and the golf world celebrated.<doc-sep>
Andrew Redington/Getty Images Tiger Woods is once again atop the golf world. The 43-year-old finished 13 under par at the 2019 Masters Tournament, winning his fifth career green jacket. Woods became the second-oldest champion in Masters history and broke the record for longest span between victories. Woods sealed his emotional win on the 18th hole, tapping in a two-foot putt before unleashing a patented roar. But that story is available in hundreds of other places; dozens of players received a hefty check for their performance. Exemptions for future major tournaments also accompany that payday. The 2019 Masters had a total purse of $11.5 million, and the winner earned more than $2 million for the first time in the event's history. Woods will net $2.07 million for the victory. 2019 Masters Payouts Top 10 (Including Ties) Video Play Button Videos you might like 1. Tiger Woods: $2.07 million T-2. Dustin Johnson: $858,667 T-2.

Woods took control of the tournament with a sensational four-hole stretch on the back nine. Then-leader Francesco Molinari found the water on No. 12 and double-bogeyed the hole, while Woods dropped in a par. He then birdied the 13th, 15th and 16th holes. Fourteen years after his dramatic chip-in on the par-three 16th, Tiger nearly aced the hole Sunday to set up his triumph. As that surge happened, Patrick Cantlay―who temporarily held the outright lead after an eagle on 15―had a bogey on 16 and 17 to fall out of contention. The 27-year-old still earned $310,500 for his ninth-place finish alongside Rickie Fowler and Jon Rahm. Dustin Johnson earned himself more than a half-million dollars thanks to an impressive charge on the back nine. He knocked home four birdies, improving to 12 under par. The payout difference between 12 under and eight under was $633,267. Johnson was the first to enter the clubhouse with that score, which Xander Schauffele equaled. Brooks Koepka had a terrific chance to birdie 18 but settled for a par and $858,667 payday. Jason Day, Tony Finau, Molinari and Webb Simpson rounded out the top-10 finishers, taking home more than $400,000 apiece. Follow Bleacher Report writer David Kenyon on Twitter @Kenyon19_BR.
