The 79th Masters is underway. One of the most prestigious sporting events in the world, this invitation-only tournament features the best golfers from around the world who compete for a coveted green jacket and the title as a top golfer.

The Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia is expecting 90 to 100 players to compete this year, including several amateurs. Some of the biggest and richest names in golf will also play.

Here are the net worths of some of the 2015 Masters players, including Bubba Watson, Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and more.

Bubba Watson Net Worth: $20 Million

Bubba Watson won the 2014 Masters and is back this year to defend his green jacket. In addition to last year’s tournament, Watson also won the 2012 Masters, which made him a household name. During his career, CelebrityNetWorth estimates he has earned roughly $24 million in total tournament winnings and $3 to $5 million per year in endorsements, bringing his total net worth to $20 million.

Tiger Woods Net Worth: $580 Million

Last Friday, the Golf Channel reported Tiger Woods was practicing in Georgia at the golf club. Before then, it was unclear whether he would be playing in this year’s Masters. CelebrityNetWorth reports Woods has an estimated net worth of a whopping $580 million, which is comprised of prize money and endorsements. In 2009, Forbes reported that Woods was also the first athlete in the world to make $1 billion.
