The top-ranked golfer in the world cruised to a four-shot win at the British Open at Royal Portrush to claim his first ever Claret Jug and a fourth career major championship. As a result, that sent him back to the United States with a $3.1 million check.

Along with golf's oldest major trophy and the title of Champion Golfer of the Year, players were vying for their portion of a $17 million purse at the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.

The winner of the 2025 British Open will make the same as last year's champ but more than $1 million more than the last time it was at Royal Portrush.
