Open champion Scottie Scheffler's winner's check will match what Xander Schauffele received in 2024: a payday of $3.1 million.
The winner of The Open Championship golf tournament in 2025 will earn $3.1 million as part of a $17 million purse, according to the R&A.
The Open Championship prize purse for 2025 will be the same as the 2024's, a total of $17 million. The winner will claim a significant portion of the total, $3.1 million, while the runner-up will claim $ 1.7 million and the third place finisher will take home $1.1 million.
The R&A announced The Open will carry the same prize pool as 2024's record-setting purse with the winner taking home a $3.1 million check like Xander Schauffele did last year. That is a handsome payday but not one all that uncommon at this time in professional golf.
