The 2025 Open Championship purse has increased every year since 2017, but this year, the R&A is holding steady at $17 million — the same amount that was up for grabs at last year’s Open Championship at Troon.
In terms of money, the Open Championship is the least lucrative of the four major championships. The Masters offered $21 million this year; the PGA Championship $19 million, and the U.S. Open $21.5 million. The U.S. Open’s total purse is $1.5 million more than the PGA Tour’s eight Signature Events, which offer $20 million purses. The Players Championship, however, remains the richest purse in golf, with a total purse of $25 million.
This year’s Open Champion will receive the same payout received by the 2024 champion, Xander Schauffele, with a $3.1 million payday. The runner-up will receive a cool $1.759 million, and third place will clear seven figures too, with a payout of $1.128 million.
Even the players who missed the cut end up generously compensated, with the top 10 players (and ties) on the wrong side of the cut receiving $12,350, the next 20, $10,300, and the remainder of the field receiving $8,750.
