The final major of 2025 has arrived, and the 2025 British Open is in Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland this week. It's offering a $17 million purse, with $3.1 million to the winner.

In what might be considered a mild surprise, the R&A did not increase its prize purse from last year, a decision that cuts against the ongoing gold rush in men's golf. While the recent U.S. Open had a similar payout as 2024, earlier this year the Masters increased its purse by $1 million (to $21 million), and the PGA Championship gave its purse a half-a-million bump.

Of course, Scottie Scheffler isn't in it for the money, he's chasing history and he got another piece of it Sunday in winning the Open in a runaway by four shots. After winning the PGA Championship in May he now has three legs of the Grand Slam. He's the ninth player in history to win a Masters, PGA and British Open.

Harris English continued playing well in big events with a solo second and Chris Gotterup, one week after winning the Genesis Scottish Open, came to Royal Portrush and took third.

Here are the final payouts for the 2025 Open Championship.
