On Sunday, July 20, the professional golfer, 29, celebrated the special moment of his first British Open, also known as The Open, win with his 14-month-old son Bennett. After the toddler, who's always by his dad's side on the green, spotted Scheffler, he stood up and began walking toward his dad.

Along with golf's oldest major trophy and the title of Champion Golfer of the Year, players were vying for their portion of a $17 million purse at the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.

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:

If McIlroy didn’t quite deliver, then Royal Portrush — where he shot 61 as a 16-year-old for the course record — certainly did, gaining widespread rave reviews.

The final round of the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush features Scottie Scheffler trying to convert a four-shot lead into his first Claret Jug and fourth career major title. Scheffler put distance between himself and the field with a Saturday 67 to reach 14 under, four clear of Haotong Li (-10) in second.

PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland (AP) — A brief glance at the final round Sunday in the British Open at Royal Portrush: THE VICTOR: Scottie Scheffler closed with a 3-under 68 for a four-shot victory, his second title major of the year and fourth of his career.

Tony Finau found no joy in his final round of the 153rd British Open on Sunday, an event he finished in solo third place in 2019 at this same Royal Portrush course outside of Belfast in Northern Ireland. Finau made double bogey on holes 5 and 14 to dash any chance he had of finishing in the Top 10 if not Top 20 at the Open Championship.

With Scottie Scheffler holding a four-shot lead through 54 holes, the final round of the 2025 British Open seems like a foregone conclusion. Even for those competing against the World No. 1. But at least one golf fan is confident that there will be a final-round comeback.
