The 2018 Senior British Open Championship purse is set for $2 million, with the winner's share coming in at $314,330 -- a little less than the standard 15 percent payout according to the R&A's British Open Championship prize money distribution chart.
While the cut is made to the top 70 and ties, every professional is paid regardless of their cut status. Players who finish 71st through 90th earn $2,000 each, with players in 91st through 110th earning $1,590 each, then players in 111th through 130th place getting $1,210 each, followed by $1,000 each to the remaining professionals in the field.
The Senior British Open Championship field is headed by Bernhard Langer, Miguel Angel Jimenez, David Toms and more.
The event is played this year at the Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland.
