British Open 2018 winner Francesco Molinari gets $1.89 million prize

Francesco Molinari will receive $1.89 million in prize money in addition to the Claret Jug and a special place in golf history for winning the 2018 British Open. That payday is up slightly from a year ago, when Jordan Spieth took home $1.845 million for his victory at Royal Birkdale.

The $10.5 million total purse for the tournament, up from $10.25 million in 2017, is among the highest in golf. It’s lower than the $12 million paid out by the U.S. Open or the $11 million from the Masters, but it still represents one of the biggest paydays in the sport. This is one of the game’s four major championships, after all.

Justin Thomas, who failed to make the cut this weekend, leads the 2018 PGA Tour money list leader with $5.86 million in earnings. Dustin Johnson, Bubba Watson and Justin Rose have also earned more than $5 million this year.

Here’s a look at the full purse for the 2018 British Open. This list is subject to change based on tied scores.
