Rory McIlroy clinched Masters glory on Sunday to finally get his hands on a green jacket and also secure a mammoth payday.
McIlroy produced one of the most dramatic final rounds in Masters history to beat Justin Rose in a play-off and complete his career Grand Slam.

McIlroy is no stranger to winning golf’s biggest prizes but his exploits in Augusta will out-weigh anything he’s achieved in his career so far.
And while cash will not have been on the 35-year-old’s mind, he has secured a huge cheque.
The 2025 Masters prize pot is $21million (£16million) – the most in the tournament’s 89-year history.
In 2024, the Masters and Augusta National broke records for putting up the largest ever amount of money seen at the event.
A total prize purse of $20m was made available, with Scottie Scheffler receiving $3.6m in total.
But that’s now increased even further for this year’s tournament with McIlroy receiving $4.2m.
Rose took home $2.2m for his runner-up place while Patrick Reed claimed $1.4m in third.
While Scheffler was not at his best this year, he still clinched an impressive fourth and with it, won $1m.

The caddies don’t leave empty-handed either, picking up 10 percent of the winnings if their man claims the green jacket, seven percent for a top 10 and five percent otherwise.
