2025 British Open Purse, Payouts: How much did Scottie Scheffler deserve for his victory at Royal Portrush?

2025 British Open Purse, Payouts: How much did Scottie Scheffler deserve for his victory at Royal Portrush?


Scottie Scheffler was absolutely ran away in Northern Ireland with things this weekend.

The high-ranking golfer in the world brought a four-shot victory at the British Open at Royal Portrush to win his first Claret mug and a fourth career major championship. As a result, he sent him back to the United States with a check of 3.1 million US dollars.

This season, the British Open offered a wallet of $ 17 million in Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland, which corresponds to the record bag offered last year. While this is the highest in the history of the event, it is lowest among the four major championships.

The US Open offered a wallet of 21.5 million US dollars last month to lead the majors. The masters also had a wallet of 21 million US dollars, and the signature events of the PGA Tour generally have wallets of at least 20 million dollars. The PGA championship was not far behind with its 19 million dollar -money exchange.

Scheffler started the last round with a lead of four shots and quickly pushed her on seven strokes after making three birdies in his first five holes of the day. Until then, this tour was far too great to overcome it. He rolled through the rest of his round without any problems to earn today's 17th career victory.

Harris English was in second place alone at 13th, one shot before Chris Gotterup-Der played in the event with his victory last week at the Scottish Open. Wyndham Clark, Matt Fitzpatrick and Haotong Li were then fourth.
