Here’s how much money every player made at the 2023 Open Championship

The 2023 Open Championship purse has increased significantly over the years.

Just two years ago, in 2021, the purse was set at $11.5 million. One year later, it went up again, to $14 million. Both increases were record payouts for the Open at the time, and this year, the R&A announced another big jump.

In 2023, the Open Championship purse is set at a whopping total of $16.5 million. Despite the increases, the Open is still the least lucrative of the major championships. The U.S. Open tops the list at $20 million, followed by the Masters ($18 million) and the PGA Championship ($17.5 million). The Players Championship remains the richest purse in golf at a total of $25 million.

It’s a good time to be a pro golfer, to say the least.

This year’s Open champion will surpass the payout received by 2022 champion, Cameron Smith, by an impressive $500,000, with a $3 million total payday. The runner-up will receive a cool $1.708 million, and third place will clear seven figures too, with a payout of $1.095 million.

Even the players who missed the cut receive a payout ranging from $12,000 to $8,500, depending on their finish through 36 holes. So how much did the rest of the players in the field come away with this year? You can find a complete list of the 2023 U.S. Open payouts for each player below.
