The R&A handed out a tournament-record $14 million purse on Sunday, with $2.5 million going to the winner. That is $2.5 million more than the 2021 purse, with an extra $430,000 going in Smith’s direction.
The runner-up at the Open, Cameron Young, will also easily clear seven figures with a paycheck of $1.455 million. Third place, at $933,000, isn’t a bad consolation prize for Rory McIlroy, who suffered another major championship heartbreak on Sunday at St. Andrews.
