Perks Of Winning The Masters

The US Masters is of course one of golf's four major championships, but winning at Augusta National carries with it a series of perks that go well beyond the famous green jacket

In this video, we're going to highlight exactly what they are. Let's start by talking money. The winner of the Masters pockets a check that's just in excess of two million dollars

Not bad for four days work. In addition to that, he also wins a sterling silver replica of the Masters trophy which depicts the Augusta National Clubhouse and a gold medal

with a view of the clubhouse from the front. Now of course one of the most famous perks is the chance to not only attend the champions dinner each year

but also to choose the menu for that dinner the year after you win

This truly is one of the most exclusive dinner invites in the world

The year after winning his first masters in 1997, Tiger Woods famously offered a menu of cheeseburgers

French fries, chicken sandwiches and milkshakes. Now past champions also receive a special invite to compete in the tournament every year after

they win and an honorary membership at Augusta National. So what about that famous green jacket

Well, the winner of the Masters gets to take the jacket home with him and keep it for a year

But once that year is up, he has to return the jacket to Augusta National and can only

wear it when he's on golf club grounds. The last thing to mention is the exemptions

The world of professional golf opens its arms to a Masters winner, with five-year

exemptions to the other majors as well as the PGA tour. So as you can see, there is a lot to be gained by winning the Masters
