Open Championship 2024 tournament prize money, purse

Staying the same as last year’s purse after an AU$3.7 million increase from 2022’s tournament, the prize fund for this year’s Open Championship stands at AU$24.3 million.

While the winner at Royal Troon this year will pocket a significant share of that purse, the prize money is shared out accordingly across the highest-finishing players in the field, with the top three finishers the only ones to receive more than U$1 million (AU$1.5 million) for their efforts.

The winner in Scotland this will take home AU$4.4 million.

  1. U.S. Open: AU$29.5 million
  2. Masters Tournament: AU$26.5 million
  3. PGA Championship: AU$25.8 million
  4. Open Championship: AU$24.3 million
