Masters winner to receive $4.5 million

$4.5 million - just under 42 million kronor. That's how much the winner of this year's U.S. Masters at Augusta National will receive.

As usual, the organizers of this year's first golf major announced the prize money on Saturday. The winner's check has been increased from $4.2 million last year to $4.5 million this year.

Both Ludvig Åberg and Alex Norén have made the cut, which guarantees them prize money equivalent to more than half a million kronor.

There's big money at stake this weekend. Finishing eleventh at the Masters is enough to earn a prize check worth more than the equivalent of five million kronor.

Rory McIlroy, last year's winner, leads the Masters by a record margin - six strokes - heading into this weekend's play.
