Masters 2012 Purse: Bubba Watson Earns $1.44 Million Prize
A green jacket and golf immortality is nice, but $1,440,000 is a good bonus to that. That is the total amount that Bubba Watson will pocket for winning the 2012 Masters at Augusta National Golf Club. It took a little overtime to get it, but it is unlikely that Watson minds.
Watson's earnings for the weekend totaled $576,000 more than Louis Oosthuizen made with his second place finish. The rest of the top ten broke down this way:
1st: Bubba Watson, $1,440,000
2nd, Louis Oosthuizen $864,000
T-3rd, Lee Westwood, $284,000
T-3rd, Matt Kuchar, $284,000
T-3rd, Peter Hanson, $284,000
T-3rd, Phil Mickelson, $284,000
7th, Ian Poulter, $268,0000
T-8, Adam Scott, $244,000
T-8, Padraig Harrington, $244,000
T-8, Justin Rose, $244,000
In addition to his earnings, Oosthuizen also took home a crystal bowl for his double-eagle hole-in-one during the final round.

2012 Masters Results: Bubba Watson Victorious In Playoff Over Louis Oosthuizen
It took a pair of extra holes to decide a victor, but in the end it was Bubba Watson who took home the coveted green jacket as 2012 Masters champion in a playoff over Louis Oosthuizen
Watson will take home an estimated $1.44 million for his strong play, as he continues to come to grips with the single greatest moment of his professional golfing career. Watson could barely hold back his emotions in interviews after the win, and became the fifth lefthanded golfer in the last ten Masters tournaments to leave Augusta with a victory.
Behind Watson and Oosthuizen on the leaderboard sits a quartet of contenders that didn't quite get over the hump on Sunday. Peter Hanson, Phil Mickelson, Lee Westwood and Matt Kuchar each finished two strokes off the lead at 8-under in a tie for third place.
