The 2026 Masters field is headed by Rory McIlroy, Cameron Young, Scottie Scheffler, Shane Lowry and more.
This tournament started with 91 players, and a cut was made this week after two rounds to the top 50 players and ties. Every professional player in the field is paid for completing the event, but how much each player is paid at the 2026 Masters from the correct 2026 Masters full-field payout is based on their finish in this event.
The 2026 Masters prize money payout is set ahead of the event and announced after the weekend cut is made. Augusta National will add money to the purse, with the club paying out more money than the purse if more than, in this case, 50 professionals make the cut to ensure all players are paid.

Beyond money, there are important points, perks and benefits on the line for the field -- in particular, the tournament winner.
