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.
