The Open Championship prize pool will remain at $17 million this week, the first time in 13 years the R&A has not increased the purse.

Sunday's winner at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland will earn $3.1 million, the same amount Xander Schauffele took home last year at Royal Troon in Scotland.

The runner-up will earn $1.759 million with third place receiving $1.128 million.

The U.S. Open's payout was unchanged this year, too, maintaining the same $21.5 million purse it had in 2024.

The largest purse on the PGA Tour is $25 million for The Players Championship.
