The 2019 British Open Championship purse is set for $10.75 million, with the winner's share coming in at $1,935,000 -- the standard 18 percent payout according to the R&A's British Open Championship prize money distribution chart.

With 73 professionals making the 36-hole cut, each successive place past 70th place paying $125 less per place, down to $24,375.

Pros who miss the cut are also paid. The top 10 and ties among pros to miss the cut get $7,500 each, with the next 20 professional golfers and ties getting $6,000 each. The remainder of professional golfers to finish 36 holes earn $5,000 each.

The British Open Championship field is headed by every top 50 player in the world (except Kevin Na, who is injured), including Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson and Justin Thomas.

The event is played this year at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland, hosting for the first time since 1951.
