Here’s the record prize money payout for each golfer at the 2024 AIG Women’s British Open – Australian Golf Digest

There’s something extra special about winning this week’s AIG Women’s Open. This is only the third time the women’s major has been played on the historic Old Course at St. Andrews, and to boast that you claimed the title at the Home of Golf is a reward that doesn’t come with a specific price tag. Just ask Lorena Ochoa (2007 champ) and Stacy Lewis (2013).

That said, the champion on Sunday will also walk off with a monetary prize that’s memorable as well. The R&A announced on Wednesday that it was offering a record $9.5 million prize money payout this year, up $500,000 from 2023 and 3½ times as much as was awarded the last time the Open came to St. Andrews in 2013. That year Lewis claimed a first-place payday of $402,583. This year’s winner takes home $1.425 million.

Here’s the prize money payouts for each golfer who makes the cut this week at St. Andrews. We’ll update this post shortly after play ends on Sunday with individual names and paydays.
