Advertisements

The winner of the 2026 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale will receive a total prize of $3.2m (£2.4m).

The total prize pool of $17.75m (£13.3m) is an increase of $750,000 (£560,000) from the 2025 tournament at Royal Portrush, while the winner’s prize has increased by $100,000 (£74,600).

All players who finish in the top three will receive over $1.1m (£820,000) each, while a top-seven finish guarantees a prize north of $500,000 (£372,900) each.

Prize money at The Open will only be awarded to professional players.

A 70th-place finish is worth $40,700 (£30,400). Should more than 70 players make the cut and play in the final two days of The Open, prize money for the 71st-placed player will drop to $40,575 (£30,300) and continue decreasing by $125 (£93) until a minimum of $39,450 (£29,400) where necessary.

Professional players who finish in the top 10 places below the cut line will earn $12,900 (£9,600) each. The next best 20 professional players will earn $10,750 (£8,000) each, while the remainder of the professionals will earn $9,100 (£6,800) each.
