Exclusive Winnings: Scottie Scheffler's Prize Package Following 2025 Open Victory
In a spectacular display of golfing prowess, Scottie Scheffler has claimed victory at The Open 2025, marking a significant milestone in his career.
First and foremost, Scheffler's triumphant performance has earned him an impressive haul of FedEx Cup points. As the winner, he takes home the maximum regular-season allowance of 750 points, a significant boost to his standing in the rankings.
But the rewards of his victory extend far beyond the FedEx Cup. By claiming the Claret Jug, Scheffler has guaranteed himself a spot in the 2026 Open at Royal Birkdale, a prestigious honour that comes with winning the tournament.
Moreover, Scheffler's victory has secured him exemption into every Open Championship until 2051. This means he will have the opportunity to defend his title and compete in the tournament for decades to come.
Inside the locker room, Scheffler now has access to the champions-only Champions Corner. This special spot, reserved for Open champions, the reigning Amateur Champion, and only they, is likely to include a huge photo of the winner holding the Claret Jug.
A win at The Open also brings with it automatic qualification for the Masters Tournament, the PGA Championship, THE PLAYERS Championship, and signature PGA Tour events including The Sentry. These are tournaments for which Scheffler was not previously qualified or where his exemption status is extended due to the major win.
The runner-up at The Open, meanwhile, receives the Silver Salver trophy and a prize money of $1.759 million. While not the winner, this runner-up still secures a valuable benefit: a spot in the 2026 Masters.
Top-10-and-ties at The Open also qualify for the 2026 Masters, ensuring a strong lineup of contenders for the prestigious tournament.
Finally, it's worth noting that Scheffler earns 1.5 Ryder Cup points per dollar, but as he is already qualified for Team USA, his points will not directly contribute to the team this year. However, his impressive form will undoubtedly boost the morale of the team as they prepare for the upcoming Ryder Cup.
In summary, Scottie Scheffler's victory at The Open 2025 has brought him a host of benefits, from FedEx Cup points to exemptions into future Opens and other major tournaments. His journey to the top of golf continues, with many more challenges and opportunities ahead.
