2022 British Open: Final Purse, Prize Money, Payouts for Entire Field at St. Andrews

Cam Smith banks $2.5 million from record-breaking $14 million prize pool thanks to final-round 64 to rally past Rory McIlroy.

Cam Smith pulled off an epic, five-shot final-round comeback at 2022 British Open at St. Andrews, and he receives a massive payday for his effort. His $2.5 million prize comes from a tournament-record fund of $14 million, up 22 percent from last year.

The R&A followed a trend, as each of the three previous major-championships this season also raised their purses to record-setting numbers:

Masters: $15 million overall/$2.7 million to winner Scottie Scheffler

PGA: $15 million overall/$2.7 million to winner Justin Thomas

U.S. Open: $17.5 million overall/$3.15 million to winner Matt Fitzpatrick

Rookie Cam Young earned $1.455 million for second place, his best major finish. Rory McIlroy entered the final round tied for the lead, but struggled to make a putt all afternoon and finished third.
