Masters Prize Money 2016: Final Leaderboard, Total Purse and Payouts

Danny Willett needed a bit of help and luck, but the 28-year-old Brit is the 2016 Masters champion after posting a final-round 67 to win the green jacket Sunday.

Willett came into Sunday's final round at even par, and he parred his first five holes. By the time he got to the back nine, he was at two under and trailed reigning champion Jordan Spieth by five shots.

Then the wheels came off for Spieth, who bogeyed Nos. 10 and 11 and followed those with a quadruple bogey on No. 12 that dropped him to one under and three strokes behind Willett. While that was happening, Willett made back-to-back birdies on Nos. 13 and 14, followed by one more at No. 16, to finish at five under par.

By winning the Masters, Willett automatically qualified for the British Open, and the tournament is waiting for him:

If there was ever a time for Crying Jordan to make an appearance, it was now, per Jimmy Donofrio of Americans United:

Here's a breakdown of what each golfer is taking home from the $10 million purse, with Willett earning the $1.8 million top prize, per Augusta.com:

Place	Golfer	Prize Money
1	Danny Willett	$1,800,000
T2	Jordan Spieth	$880,000
T2	Lee Westwood	$880,000
T4	Paul Casey	$413,333
T4	J.B. Holmes	$413,333
T4	Dustin Johnson	$413,333
T7	Soren Kjeldsen	$311,667
T7	Hideki Matsuyama	$311,667
T7	Matthew Fitzpatrick	$311,667
T10	Daniel Berger	$230,000

Spieth overcame personal errors and a crowded field to take a five-shot lead Sunday at Augusta for the second straight year. Heading to No. 17 on Saturday, he was at six under and had a firm grip on the lead. But he double-bogeyed and bogeyed the final two holes and went into Sunday with a one-shot lead.

It wasn't the final two holes that did him in, though. While Spieth collapsed, Willett played at a consistent pace with a brilliant back nine that gave him the win. Nevertheless, the moment of putting the green jacket on Willett will be a tough one for Spieth, per Jason Sobel of ESPN.com:

It was also an error-free final round for the new Masters champ, per ESPN Stats & Info:

Willett wasn't the only one making waves Sunday. His brother, P.J., became a fun Twitter follow as the final round played out:

Not only was this Willett's first major win, but it was also the first of his PGA Tour career. It took Willett, who turned pro in 2008, this long for him to win a tournament, so to label him the favorite at the U.S. Open would be a stretch. But he will be in the discussion because of his win this weekend.

Heading into Sunday, most fans assumed Spieth would be able to pull away and retake his place on top of the golfing world. Instead, Willett became the first Englishman to win the Masters since Nick Faldo.

That's some good company.
