He had to survive a battle on the leaderboard, but Xander Schauffele has claimed the Claret Jug.
Schauffele ran away with the British Open late on Sunday afternoon to grab a two-shot win at the final major championship of the year at Royal Troon in Scotland. The win marked the second major championship win of his career, following his inaugural victory at the PGA Championship in May.
The British Open offered a $17 million purse this season which, while a record for the event, was the lowest offered among the major championships in 2024. The Players Championship offered the largest purse at $25 million, which gave Scottie Scheffler a $4.5 million prize after his win at TPC Sawgrass. Schauffele earned $3.3 million after winning the PGA Championship.
The R&A’s purse increased by $500,000 from last year. That means that Schauffele will take home $3.1 million for his win at Royal Troon.
Here’s a look at how much Schauffele and the rest of the field earned this week in Scotland.
