Golf Pro Scottie Scheffler's Earnings at the 2025 Open Tournament
Scottie Scheffler Claims Victory at The Open Championship 2025
In a thrilling conclusion to the golfing season, American professional Scottie Scheffler emerged victorious at The Open Championship 2025, held at Royal Portrush. The tournament, with a total prize money of $17,000,000, saw Scheffler take home a substantial $3,100,000 for his first-place finish.
This win marks a significant milestone in Scheffler's career, bringing him three-quarters of the way to joining Rory McIlroy and a select few as a career Grand Slam winner. Prior to his triumph at The Open, Scheffler had already clinched the PGA Championship title following his CJ Cup Byrson Nelson win in May 2025. He also secured the Memorial Tournament in June of the same year.
The prize money for finishing in first place at The Open Championship has been steadily increasing over the years. In 2021, the winner took home $2,070,000, while in 2022, the winner's prize was $2,500,000. In 2023, the prize money for the event was not explicitly mentioned, but it pales in comparison to the $3,000,000 and $3,100,000 awarded to the winners of the 2024 and 2025 tournaments, respectively.
The purse for The Open at Royal Portrush in 2025 was $17m, a substantial increase from the $1.7m at the Open Championship 2023. Coco Gauff, the US Open 2023 champion, won approximately 4.6 million euros, and Carlos Alcaraz, the US Open 2025 winner, took home about 4.3 million dollars.
The tournament saw a competitive field, with the leading 10 professionals who missed the cut earning $12,350 each. The next 20 professionals who missed the cut received $10,300 each, and those who finished in 32nd place received $102,100.
Notably, Scheffler sustained a wine glass injury on Christmas Day in 2024, causing a month-long delay to his 2025 season. Despite this setback, he was able to recover and secure his historic victory at The Open Championship 2025.
The prize money for winning The Open at Royal Portrush in 2025 was $500,000 more than the 2023 winner Brian Harman received. The increased prize money reflects the growing popularity and prestige of The Open Championship.
With this win, Scottie Scheffler has cemented his place as one of the top golfers in the world and has taken a significant step towards achieving a career Grand Slam. The golfing world eagerly awaits to see if he can continue his impressive form and claim more major titles in the future.
