The 2018 Masters purse is set for $11 million, with the winner's share coming in at $1,980,000 -- the standard 18 percent payout according to the Masters prize money distribution chart. The total purse was unchanged from 2017, making it the second-largest purse among the four major championships, with the US Open offering the largest purse in golf at $12 million.

The Masters is one of the smallest fields on the PGA Tour to have a 36-hole cut. It has the smallest cut among the majors in terms of field size and total players to make the cut. The top 50 and ties make the 36-hole cut, meaning players who make the cut make a little more money as a share of the purse compared to normal PGA Tour events. Every player after 50th place earns prize money starting at $27,060 for 51st place and going down to complete the 53-player weekend field.

Those who miss the cut still get $10,000.

All prize money is subject to the state of Georgia's taxes, which peak at 6 percent for the top-earning rate of 6 percent if you make more than $10,000 in taxable income per year.

The Masters field is headed by defending champion Sergio Garcia, Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth, Jason Day, Rory McIlroy, Hideki Matsuyama and Dustin Johnson.

The event is in Augusta, Ga., with Augusta National Golf Club proving an incredible host to the game's biggest championship.
