After four days of action from Royal St. George’s in Sandwich, England, we’ve finally reached the end of play at the 2021 Open Championship. Before a new Champion Golfer of the Year is named, here’s everything you need to know about tournament money, including payout information and the winner’s share.
Open Championship final round preview
Sunday at the Open Championship is always ripe for history, and the final round at Royal St. George’s is expected to be no different. But who will come away having made history? A handful of golfers are in the mix.
Louis Oosthuizen has held the 18, 36 and 54-hole leads at the Open, and enters Sunday clinging to a narrow margin over the remainder of the field. After consecutive runner-up finishes at both the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open, Oosthuizen looks to rewrite the narrative of his 2021 season with a second-career major championship (some 11 years after his first) on Sunday.
Behind Louis, Collin Morikawa stands on the cusp of history of his own at Royal St. George’s. Eleven months after winning the PGA Championship in his first start, Morikawa looks to do the same at the Open Championship. Morikawa (11 under) enters Sunday one stroke back of Oosthuizen (12 under) and two strokes ahead of Jordan Spieth (nine under). Spieth is looking for his first major victory since his win at the Open in 2017, and should find himself with plenty of opportunities to score in friendly, mostly wind-free conditions on Sunday.
Below, find the complete payout information, including the winner’s share, for the Open Championship’s record-setting $11.5 million purse; you can catch the action until the completion of play on NBC.
