The 2019 British Open Championship purse is set for $10.75 million, with 73 professional players who made the cut after two rounds at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Portrush, Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland, earning a paycheck this week.
The winner’s share of the British Open Championship prize pool is at $1,935,000, with the second-place finisher taking home $1,120,000.
The British Open Championship field is headed by Shane Lowry, Tommy Fleetwood, Lee Westwood and Brooks Kopeka on the final day, with Lowry emerging as a six-shot winner to capture his first major title.
With less than 78 players making the 36-hole cut, all of the players are allowed to finish the tournament on Sunday and move up the leaderboard in the final round. The R&A does not subject players to the PGA Tour’s secondary cut.
