The Claret Jug and $3.1 million winner's share from the 2025 Open purse are still up for grabs, and some golf left to play, anything can happen at Royal Portrush. It is a links course, after all.

Scottie Scheffler's second major victory of 2025 at The Open Championship essentially ensures him of being the top seed in the FedEx Cup Playoffs.
The world No. 1 added to his mind-numbing money totals with $3.1 million of the $17 million purse at Royal Portrush. He is now just shy of $100 million in official career earnings and over $19 million for the season. Here’s a breakdown of the total purse from the men’s final major of the season:
Harris English arrived in Britain two weeks ago without his caddie while Chris Gotterup flew over without a plane ticket for Ireland.
Gerard was the second alternate for the British Open, but after texting Ben Griffin, decided to commit to playing in the PGA Tour's Barracuda Championship. And then he won it.
He shot 78 in the opening round at Royal Portrush and looked well on the way to missing the cut in his second straight major. Instead, he flipped a switch and instead shot under par the next three days and earned himself a top-10 finish with a stellar closing 54 holes, finishing as the lowest LIV golfer on the leaderboard.

The top-ranked golfer cruised to another dominant outing to claim the British Open. Scheffler, who entered the day with a massive four-shot lead, pushed it to seven at one point en route to his four-shot victory at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. Nobody even came close to catching him.
