The Masters prize money is split according to a designated formula. In case of a tie for third place, the money prize for third and fourth place are averaged and awarded to the two players.
If the first place winner received 1/2 of the prize money, and the second runner up received 1/4 of what the winner won, it means the total prize money distributed was 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 = 7/4 of what the winner received. This implies that the total prize money distributed was 4/7 of the amount the winner received.

I think when the players enter they have to pay a fee. So they use the money from the fees to derermine the prize money. They probally also have people that donate money and sponsers that give money.
The simplest way to put it is, if there is $500,000 for second place and $300,000 for third place both players are tied for 2nd and receive $400,000 each. This is how it works the whole way down the field.

The tournament committee decides what percentage of the total purse each position will get. A tie for second will each get half of the prize money for 2nd and 3rd place.
