The 2023 Open Championship announces a record $16,500,000 purse

The Open Championship will be the fourth and final major of the 2023 PGA Tour season. The much-awaited major will take place between July 13 and 16 at the Royal Liverpool Club in Hoylake, England. Ending the major season in style, the Open Championship boasts a prize purse of a whopping $16.5 million.

With the prizes announced a week ahead of the major, there has been an 18% increase in the prize money since last year. The winner of the 151st Open Championship will receive a prize money payout of a whopping $3 million, along with their name being etched on the Claret Jug.

Speaking about the increase in prize money, R&A chief executive Martin Slumbers said via Golf Digest:

“Our aim is to ensure the Open remains at the pinnacle of world golf and we have almost doubled the prize fund since 2016. While we are seeing substantial increases in prize money across the men’s professional game, we are fulfilling our wider obligation to the sport by elevating the AIG Women’s Open, strengthening pathways in the elite amateur game and encouraging more people around the world to play golf. We believe that getting this balance right is vital to the long-term future of the sport.”
