Rory McIlroy's 11-year long wait came to an end on Sunday with a win at The Masters. McIlroy, who started Sunday"s final round with a two-stroke lead, overcame some bumps in the road including a furious comeback by Justin Rose to force a one-hole playoff after shooting 1-over par on the day, and finishing at 11-under par for the tournament and cementing his place among the game"s immortals. Advertisment With his victory at The Masters, the 35-year-old completed the career grand slam - winning each of golf"s four majors. McIlroy becomes just the sixth player to accomplish the feat joining Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. What all does the winner of The Masters gets? The 2025 Masters Tournament had a total purse of $21 million. This time, the winner got $4.2 million as prize money, while Justin Rose got $2.268 million. But besides the prize money, there are lesser known privileges that the winner gets. Let's have a look: AdvertismentThe iconic Green Jacket is handed out to the winner, but most may not be aware they have an engraved gold nameplate on the inside of it. Winners also get to take the Green Jacket home for a year before it takes up a permanent residency at Augusta.

Just three-and-a-half inches in size, it displays an image of the Augusta clubhouse on the front.
