This year, The Open prize pot will be a staggering $10.25million, with the winner of the Claret Jug taking home a whopping $1.845m.

Interestingly, prize money will be awarded in dollars this year as a result of the British pound being affected by the Brexit vote last year.

“We are operating in an increasingly global marketplace and have made the decision to award the prize fund in U.S. dollars in recognition of the fact that it is the most widely adopted currency for prize money in golf,” R&A chief executive Martin Slumbers.
