US Masters championships, all you need to know
Transcript
00:00The US Masters is, of course, one of golf's four major championships, but winning at Augusta
00:04National carries with it a series of perks that go well beyond the famous green jacket.
00:09In this video, we're going to highlight exactly what they are. Let's start by talking money.
00:14The winner of the Masters pockets a check that's just in excess of $2 million. Not bad for four
00:20days work. In addition to that, he also wins a sterling silver replica of the Masters trophy,
00:26which depicts the Augusta National Clubhouse, and a gold medallion with a view of the clubhouse
00:31from the front. Now, of course, one of the most famous perks is the chance to not only attend the
00:36champions dinner each year, but also to choose the menu for that dinner the year after you win.
00:41This truly is one of the most exclusive dinner invites in the world. The year after winning his
00:46first Masters in 1997, Tiger Woods famously offered a menu of cheeseburgers, french fries,
00:52chicken sandwiches, and milkshakes. Now, past champions also receive a special invite to
00:58compete in the tournament every year after they win, and an honorary membership at Augusta National.
01:03So what about that famous green jacket? Well, the winner of the Masters gets to take the jacket home
01:08with him and keep it for a year. But once that year is up, he has to return the jacket to Augusta
01:14National and can only wear it when he's on golf club grounds. The last thing to mention is the
01:19exemptions. The world of professional golf opens its arms to a Masters winner, with five-year
01:25exemptions to the other majors as well as the PGA Tour. So as you can see, there is a lot to be
01:31gained by winning the Masters. Thanks for watching, we'll see you next time.
