The final major of 2025 has arrived, and the 2025 British Open is in Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland this week. It's offering a $17 million purse, with $3.1 million to the winner.
In what might be considered a mild surprise, the R&A did not increase its prize purse from last year, a decision that cuts against the ongoing gold rush in men's golf. While the recent U.S. Open had a similar payout as 2024, earlier this year the Masters increased its purse by $1 million (to $21 million), and the PGA Championship gave its purse a half-a-million bump.
There were no shortage of compelling storylines at the start of the week, as the Open returned to Portrush for the second time in six years, rewarding the course for its decades of perseverance to return to the spotlight.
In the run-up to the opening round, Rory McIlroy soaked it all in, Scottie Scheffler contemplated the meaning of it all and Xander Schauffele revealed that he doesn't spend much time reflecting on his own personal glory. Scheffler entered as the betting favorite and top-ranked player in the world.
Here are the final payouts for the 2025 Open Championship. This post will be updated Sunday at the conclusion of play.
