Richard Heathcote/R&A

Brian Harman didn’t let the pressure of a five-shot lead entering the final round of the Open Championship get to him. With a closing 70, the 36-year-old veteran PGA Tour pro cruised to victory Royal Liverpool, winning by six shots.

Harman will, of course, take home with him the claret jug. He’ll also cash the largest prize money payout of his career.

The R&A has announced earlier in the week that the 2023 Champion Golfer of the Year will receive a record $3 million, up more than $500,000 from Cam Smith’s winnings last year at St Andrews. Those who didn’t make the cut received somewhere in the range of $12,000 to $8,500.

The total Open purse is also an all-time high: $16.5 million, which is an increase of $2.5 million from 2022.

“Our aim is to ensure the Open remains at the pinnacle of world golf and we have almost doubled the prize fund since 2016,” said R&A chief executive Martin Slumbers in a statement. “While we are seeing substantial increases in prize money across the men’s professional game, we are fulfilling our wider obligation to the sport by elevating the AIG Women’s Open, strengthening pathways in the elite amateur game and encouraging more people around the world to play golf. We believe that getting this balance right is vital to the long-term future of the sport.”

Here are the prize money payouts for each golfer at the 2023 Open Championship.
