Alright, so today I’m gonna walk you through how I tracked down the prize money for the Masters 2024. It was a bit of a rabbit hole, but hey, that’s half the fun, right?
First off, I started with the obvious – Google. I typed in “Masters 2024 prize money” and sifted through a bunch of articles. Most of them were just recaps of past years or predictions, which wasn’t what I needed. I needed the actual numbers, you know?
Digging Deeper
I then tried searching on the official Masters website. It’s usually a pretty reliable source. I poked around the “Tournament Info” section, and the “News” section, hoping they’d have a press release or something. No luck. It’s like they were keeping it a secret or something!
I remembered seeing some stuff about the purse being announced during the tournament itself sometimes. So, I switched tactics and started looking for live updates or recaps from the final day. I figured if someone won a ton of cash, it’d be mentioned somewhere.
Hitting Paydirt!
Finally, I stumbled upon a sports news site that had a breakdown of the payout right after Scottie Scheffler clinched the win. They listed the total purse and how much each player got based on their finishing position. Bingo!
- I verified this information by cross-referencing with another golf news site I trust.
- Made sure the numbers added up to the total purse they claimed.
It’s crazy how much digging you sometimes have to do to find simple information like this. But hey, mission accomplished. I got the data I needed!
Moral of the story: Don’t always trust the first search result. Sometimes you gotta get your hands dirty and really search to find what you are looking for.
