00:00 The US Masters is of course one of golf's four major championships, but winning at Augusta
00:04 National carries with it a series of perks that go well beyond the famous green jacket.
00:09 In this video, we're going to highlight exactly what they are.
00:13 Let's start by talking money. The winner of the Masters pockets a cheque that's just in
00:16 excess of $2 million. Not bad for four days work. In addition to that, he also wins a
00:23 sterling silver replica of the Masters trophy, which depicts the Augusta National clubhouse,
00:29 and a gold medallion with a view of the clubhouse from the front.
00:32 Now of course, one of the most famous perks is the chance to not only attend the champions
00:36 dinner each year, but also to choose the menu for that dinner the year after you win. This
00:41 truly is one of the most exclusive dinner invites in the world. The year after winning
00:46 his first Masters in 1997, Tiger Woods famously offered a menu of cheeseburgers, french fries,
00:52 chicken sandwiches, and milkshakes.
00:55 Now past champions also receive a special invite to compete in the tournament every
00:59 year after they win, and an honorary membership at Augusta National.
01:03 So what about that famous green jacket? Well, the winner of the Masters gets to take the
01:08 jacket home with him and keep it for a year. But once that year is up, he has to return
01:13 the jacket to Augusta National and can only wear it when he's on golf club grounds.
01:17 The last thing to mention is the exemptions. The world of professional golf opens its arms
01:23 to a Masters winner, with five year exemptions to the other majors as well as the PGA Tour.
01:29 So as you can see, there is a lot to be gained by winning the Masters. Thanks for watching,
