Scottie Scheffler won the 2025 Open Championship on 20 July at Royal Portrush, Northern Ireland, finishing ahead of Harris English and Chris Gotterup. The American star claimed the Claret Jug and a record-setting prize of £2.3 million ($3.1 million). His win capped off a remarkable major season and pushed his career earnings close to £74 million ($100 million). Scheffler's dominant performance answered the big question of who would take home the lion's share of the £12 million ($17 million) purse.
