Who Are The Highest Earners Per Stroke In Masters History?

Bookmakers.Com has an interesting Masters statistic: top earners per stroke.

That’s total earnings divided by the number of career strokes

Surprise: Tiger Woods is not number 1.

The top earner is instead Will Zalatoris, who finished second in his first and only Masters appearance in 2021.

The top 20 earners per stroke of all time at the Masters are as follows:

Overall Earnings Per Stroke Rank	Name	Earnings Per Stroke*
1	Will Zalatoris	$4,608.75
2	Len Mattiace	$2,899.68
3	Jordan Spieth	$2,842.44
4	Sungjae Im	$2,546.65
5	Tiger Woods	$2,545.63
6	Jonas Blixt	$1,986.01
7	Phil Mickelson	$1,793.35
8	Dustin Johnson	$1,698.75
9	Danny Willett	$1,656.80
10	Xander Schauffele	$1,645.76
11	Patrick Reed	$1,579.19
12	Tommy Tolles	$1,544.34
13	Bubba Watson	$1,490.88
14	Chris DiMarco	$1,474.88
15	Hideki Matsuyama	$1,403.65
16	Retief Goosen	$1,364.55
17	Thomas Pieters	$1,352.91
18	Jon Rahm	$1,337.58
19	Cameron Smith	$1,327.84
20	David Duval	$1,296.99

In generating the statistic, Bookmakers.Com adjusted the dollar values based on an average 3.53% year-on-year inflation rate.

In spite of topping the list, Zalatoris did not win the tournament, which in my mind is an achievement worth far more than gold.

Among those who have won the coveted Green Jacket, Jordan Spieth leads the list in earnings per stroke, followed by Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson.

Jack Nicklaus, who has six Masters titles, didn’t make the top 20. That is likely the quotient of a huge devisor resulting from playing in 45 Masters tournaments.

Overall Earnings Per Stroke Rank	Masters Champion	Earnings Per Stroke*
3	Jordan Spieth	$2,842.44
5	Tiger Woods	$2,545.63
7	Phil Mickelson	$1,793.35
8	Dustin Johnson	$1,698.75
9	Danny Willett	$1,656.80
11	Patrick Reed	$1,579.19
13	Bubba Watson	$1,490.88
15	Hideki Matsuyama	$1,403.65
22	Charl Schwartzel	$1,192.67
