One decade and one day removed from earning low-amateur honors at the Masters, a distinction that carries with it no prize money, Hideki Matsuyama is the man taking home the green jacket from the 85th Masters and a pot of gold to boot. The year-old captured his first career major championship and became the first Japanese male golfer to win a major by conquering Augusta National on Sunday.

That's more than the winner's share at nearly every professional golf tournament around the globe in any given year. The Masters purse is so impressive that the third-place finisher in this case finishers, as Jordan Spieth and Xander Schauffele tied will receive as much as the entire field did when Jack Nicklaus won the 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 tremendous money for the work.
