Open Championship purse should reshape the PGA Tour money list

The 2025 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, beginning July 16, features a record purse of $17.75 million with the winner receiving $3.2 million. Current PGA Tour money list leader Scottie Scheffler holds a $1.375 million advantage over No. 2 Matt Fitzpatrick with $15,124,574 in earnings, and a strong finish could help him secure his fifth consecutive money title. The large major purse has the potential to significantly reshuffle the top 10 standings, with players from No. 4 Wyndham Clark through No. 10 Si Woo Kim all capable of moving into the top five with a victory.
