It might be all about the pimento at Augusta National Golf Club, but Sunday, it's the cheddar.

The purse will exceed $10 million for the first time ever at the Masters, with the green jacket winner commanding $1.8 million in prize money, according to GolfWeek

Should he hang on to his four-shot lead, Jordan Spieth will claim nearly $200,000 more than Bubba Watson earned for his second green jacket last year.

While he may have the tournament all but wrapped up, there's plenty to be decided. The second-place finisher will claim over a million and $400,000 more than the second runner-up.
