Scottie Scheffler's Winnings at the 2025 Open Championship

Scottie Scheffler Claims The Open Championship at Royal Portrush

In a thrilling conclusion to the 153rd Open Championship, Scottie Scheffler emerged victorious at Royal Portrush, Northern Ireland. The American golfer's latest triumph has propelled him three-quarters of the way to a career Grand Slam.

Scheffler's journey to the top began in May 2025, where he clinched the CJ Cup Byrson Nelson title. This victory marked the start of a remarkable run that culminated in his success at The Open.

The total purse for The Open Championship at Royal Portrush was a substantial $17 million, with the winner taking home $3.1 million, the same as Xander Schauffele earned in 2024. The prize money for the first place was $3,100,000, while the 70th place earned $38,900.

The remainder of the professionals in the field who completed two full rounds earned $8,750, while the leading 10 professionals (and ties) who missed the cut after the second round received $12,350. The next 20 pros on the leaderboard who missed the cut earned $10,300.

Professionals finishing in the top-32 at The Open Championship at Royal Portrush received a minimum of $10,000 for their week's work. Near the top of the leaderboard were Tommy Fleetwood and Patrick Cantlay, tied at 16-under, Russell Henley at 14-under, and Scheffler himself at 12-under. However, the prize money details for these players were not specified in the sources consulted.

Prior to his win at The Open, Scheffler added the PGA Championship title to his resume, following his CJ Cup Byrson Nelson win. He also claimed the PGA Tour Signature Event, the Memorial Tournament, in June 2025.

The purse for The Open 2025 was $500,000 more than the 2023 tournament, indicating a growing emphasis on the event's importance within the golfing calendar. The total purse for The Open Championship in 2024 was also $17 million, the same as the 2025 tournament.

With his win at The Open, Scottie Scheffler has taken a significant step towards achieving a career Grand Slam. The question now remains: can he continue his remarkable form and complete the coveted set?
