How Much Is The 151st Open Championship Prize Money In 2023?
It is safe to say the prize money for 2023’s edition is the biggest purse ever in Open Championship history.
The total purse for last year’s iteration was a record $14 million, and we can expect that total to increase to $16.5 million this time around.
For the eventual winner come Sunday afternoon, they will pocket a lucrative $3 million for their efforts. This is a rise of half-a-million-dollars on last year. Second place will receive $1,708,000 – a $253,000 rise from what Cam Young earned last year.
