St andrews open championship winner to receive record pay day

You're referring to the 2022 Open Championship!

According to reports, the winner of the 2022 Open Championship at St Andrews will receive a record payday of £2.2 million (approximately $2.9 million USD). This is a significant increase from the previous record of £1.8 million (approximately $2.3 million USD) paid to the winner of the 2021 Open Championship at Royal St George's.

The increased prize money is part of a new five-year deal between the R&A and the European Tour, which will see the total prize fund for the Open Championship increase to £10.75 million (approximately $14.1 million USD) in 2022. This is a 25% increase from the previous year's prize fund of £8.6 million (approximately $11.2 million USD).

The increased prize money is expected to attract even more top talent to the tournament, which is one of the most prestigious events in golf. The Open Championship is the oldest of the four major championships in professional golf, and it is considered one of the most challenging and iconic courses in the world.

So, whoever emerges victorious at St Andrews in July will not only be crowned the champion of the Open Championship but will also take home a record-breaking payday!
