How many places are paid at the masters golf tournament?

Answer 1

All of them. The top one gets the most and the amount decreases as a golfer's placement decreases. In the 2009 Masters, the highest amount was $1.35 million. There are 44 golfers during the last two days, the others having "missed the cut" that were higher that a certain score over par. The 44th place golfer in 2009 received just over $25,000. Those who placed lower than 44th were paid less according to their score.
