will all be eyeing up the $3.1m first prize.<\/p>\n<p>This equates to around \u00a32.4m for the winner and a \u00a312.6m purse.<\/p>\n<p>Then the runner-up will bank $1,759,000 &#8211; which is $1,341,000 less than the winner, so there&#8217;s a lot to play for.<\/p>\n<p>With the third walking away with $1,128,000 and the fourth $876,000.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see from the 2025 Open Championship prize money breakdown, that even the 70th placed player will get $38,900.<\/p>\n<p>Before a ball has been hit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/betting-sites\/golf\/\">best golf betting sites in the UK<\/a> are making Scottie Scheffler favourite, as the world number one looks to break his duck in this major.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_55744\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-55744\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-55744 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/07\/Open-Championship-golf-sign-saying-2025-Prize-Money-with-money-in-pounds-and-Claret-jug.jpg\" alt=\"Open Championship Prize Money 2025 Sees $17m Purse\" width=\"696\" height=\"696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/07\/Open-Championship-golf-sign-saying-2025-Prize-Money-with-money-in-pounds-and-Claret-jug.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/07\/Open-Championship-golf-sign-saying-2025-Prize-Money-with-money-in-pounds-and-Claret-jug-560x560.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/07\/Open-Championship-golf-sign-saying-2025-Prize-Money-with-money-in-pounds-and-Claret-jug-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/07\/Open-Championship-golf-sign-saying-2025-Prize-Money-with-money-in-pounds-and-Claret-jug-148x148.jpg 148w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-55744\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Open Championship Prize Money 2025 Sees $17m Purse<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>Open Championship Prize Money Breakdown 2025 <em>(From 1st to 70th)<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>1st: $3,100,000<\/li>\n<li>2nd: $1,759,000<\/li>\n<li>3rd: $1,128,000<\/li>\n<li>4th: $876,000<\/li>\n<li>5th: $705,000<\/li>\n<li>6th: $611,000<\/li>\n<li>7th: $525,000<\/li>\n<li>8th: $442,500<\/li>\n<li>9th: $388,000<\/li>\n<li>10th: $350,600<\/li>\n<li>11th: $319,200<\/li>\n<li>12th: $282,800<\/li>\n<li>13th: $266,000<\/li>\n<li>14th: $249,000<\/li>\n<li>15th: $231,000<\/li>\n<li>16th: $212,700<\/li>\n<li>17th: $202,400<\/li>\n<li>18th: $193,000<\/li>\n<li>19th: $184,900<\/li>\n<li>20th: $176,200<\/li>\n<li>21st: $168,000<\/li>\n<li>22nd: $159,600<\/li>\n<li>23rd: $151,000<\/li>\n<li>24th: $142,600<\/li>\n<li>25th: $137,800<\/li>\n<li>26th: $131,800<\/li>\n<li>27th: $127,000<\/li>\n<li>28th: $122,600<\/li>\n<li>29th: $117,300<\/li>\n<li>30th: $111,200<\/li>\n<li>31st: $107,600<\/li>\n<li>32nd: $102,100<\/li>\n<li>33rd: $98,500<\/li>\n<li>34th: $95,700<\/li>\n<li>35th: $92,400<\/li>\n<li>36th $88,700<\/li>\n<li>37th: $84,600<\/li>\n<li>38th: $80,300<\/li>\n<li>39th: $77,400<\/li>\n<li>40th: $74,900<\/li>\n<li>41st: $71,800<\/li>\n<li>42nd: $68,300<\/li>\n<li>43rd: $65,200<\/li>\n<li>44th: $61,500<\/li>\n<li>45th: $58,000<\/li>\n<li>46th: $55,000<\/li>\n<li>47th: $52,800<\/li>\n<li>48th: $50,700<\/li>\n<li>49th: $48,400<\/li>\n<li>50th: $47,200<\/li>\n<li>51st: $46,200<\/li>\n<li>52nd: $45,400<\/li>\n<li>53rd: $44,700<\/li>\n<li>54th: $44,000<\/li>\n<li>55th: $43,300<\/li>\n<li>56th: $42,700<\/li>\n<li>57th: $42,300<\/li>\n<li>58th: $42,000<\/li>\n<li>59th: $41,700<\/li>\n<li>60th: $41,400<\/li>\n<li>61st: $41,200<\/li>\n<li>62nd: $41,000<\/li>\n<li>63rd: $40,800<\/li>\n<li>64th: $40,600<\/li>\n<li>65th: $40,300<\/li>\n<li>66th: $40,000<\/li>\n<li>67th: $39,700<\/li>\n<li>68th: $39,400<\/li>\n<li>69th: $39,100<\/li>\n<li>70th: $38,900<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>How Has The Open Championship Prize Money Increased Since 2016?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As mentioned, there&#8217;s been no change to the Open Championship prize fund since last year &#8211;
