British Open Portfolio 2022 Prize Money: Payout to Cameron Smith, each golfer from tournament total $14 million

The final golf tournament of the season wrapped up on Sunday with Cameron Smith engraving his name in the history books at St Andrews. While the eyes of the court focused on joining Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Saif Ballesteros as the former best golfer of the year on the Old Course, there was more than history at stake at the 150th Open.

Shahd 2022 Open a A milestone in the tournament’s history, but it will also make way for its largest portfolio and winner’s share. $14 million will be distributed on the court with Smith, the 2022 golf champion, and he earned $2.5 million alongside Clarett Gough for his stellar playing.

Smith (-20) not only won the Open Championship, but did so by tying a championship record to the lowest score on an equal footing. His ninth 30 tally on Sunday was also the lowest in the second half of the final round in big history. Smith on one occasion knocked out five straight holes in his back nine, wrestled the lead away from Rory McIlroy and grabbed him through the final hole.

“There have been significant changes in award money over the past year,” said Martin Slippers, CEO of R&A. “So we increased the prize fund by 22%, which means that prize money has increased by more than 60% since 2016.”

Despite the increase in portfolio, The Open scores the fifth highest payday of the season as it lags behind the other three majors (PGA Championship, Masters, and US Open) as well as the Players Championship. The $14 million portfolio will be spent on the top 70 professionals (plus relationships) making the cut. Amateurs making their way to the weekend cannot accept prize money.

Let’s take a look at how the payouts of the 150 Open were split among those who competed this weekend in St Andrews.
