The British Open Championship field is headed by Ludvig Aberg, Robert MacIntyre, Collin Morikawa and more. The PGA Tour leaderboard is topped by Aberg, who carries a two-shot lead into the final round.
This tournament started with 156 players, and a cut was made this week after two rounds. Every professional player in the field is paid for completing the event, but how much each player is paid at the 2024 British Open Championship from the correct 2024 British Open Championship full-field payout is based on their finish.
The 36-hole cut was made to the top 70 players and ties, with every player able to move up in the final round. Four amateurs made the cut and will not be paid for their performance.
The 2024 British Open Championship prize money payout is set ahead of the event, with the PGA Tour typically adding money to the purse if more than 65 professionals make the cut to ensure all players are paid.
What else is on the line
Beyond money, there are important points, perks and benefits on the line for the field -- in particular, the tournament winner.
The winner of this event will get 750 FedEx Cup points, as will be the practice for all major championship events in 2024.
Additionally, there are 100 Official World Golf Ranking points on the line for the winner.
While this event offers a significant payday, the win comes with enhanced PGA Tour status. The winner gets a five-year PGA Tour exemption, and it goes a long way into getting that player into the 2025 Signature events.
