The golf world turns its eyes to Royal Liverpool for the 151st iteration of The Open Championship, the TOUR's second straight week in linksland after a thrilling Genesis Scottish Open won by Rory McIlroy, one stroke clear of Robert MacIntyre.
A new-look Royal Liverpool greeted this week's field, where Brian Harman rose from the pack to capture his first major title.. Upwards of 15 adjustments were made from the most recent edition of The Open at Hoylake, won by Rory McIlroy in 2014. That was part of a sterling run where McIlroy won in three consecutive TOUR starts (The Open, WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, PGA Championship), but McIlroy has not won a major championship since that season.
The Open champion will receive 600 FedExCup points, in addition to a $3 million winner's check from a record $16.5 million purse. This marks a raise from a $14 million prize fund in 2022, with winner Cameron Smith earning $2.5 million.
“Our aim is to ensure The Open remains at the pinnacle of world golf, and we have almost doubled the prize fund since 2016,” said Martin Slumbers, CEO of the R&A.
In addition, the top 10 professionals outside the cut line will earn $12,000, with the next 20 pros earning $10,000. All other pros in the field will receive $8,500 for competing at The Open.
