Here's the breakdown of how much money each player earned at the Open Championship, where there was a purse of $17 million.

This year’s British Open was like a science fair in which the one kid from Mensa builds a talking robot and the other kids glue together log cabins with Popsicle sticks. Scottie Scheffler was a genius for nearly all of the week at Royal Portrush,

The final round of the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush features Scottie Scheffler trying to convert a four-shot lead into his first Claret Jug and fourth career major title. Scheffler put distance between himself and the field with a Saturday 67 to reach 14 under, four clear of Haotong Li (-10) in second.

The world No. 1 added to his mind-numbing money totals with $3.1 million of the $17 million purse at Royal Portrush. He is now just shy of $100 million in official career earnings and over $19 million for the season. Here’s a breakdown of the total purse from the men’s final major of the season:

He shot 78 in the opening round at Royal Portrush and looked well on the way to missing the cut in his second straight major.

To have a tee time for Saturday’s third round of the 2025 British Open means you successfully navigated the opening two rounds at Royal Portrush. Sounds simple, but that’s quite the accomplishment considering how long and grueling those two rounds tend to be—first shot off at 6:35 a.m. local time, final group off the 18th green just before 10 p.m.

Scottie Scheffler has a one-shot lead over Matt Fitzpatrick going into the third round of the British Open. Saturday is known as moving day in golf.

On Friday at the 2025 British Open, eyes tend to go the top of the leaderboard but also to the projected cut line.

After an opening 78, Bryson DeChambeau rallied with rounds of 65-68-64 to vault up the leaderboard and earn valuable Ryder Cup points.
