The 2024 British Open continued golf's gold rush, offering the largest purse in the event's history: $17 million, with $3.1 million to Xander Schauffele, who shot a bogey-free 65 to become the champion golfer of the year.

Each of the first three majors of the 2024 season boosted their total purses, with the U.S. Open setting a new major-championship record with a $21.5 million purse.

The 2024 Masters offered a $20 million purse, while the PGA Championship jumped to $18 million. Schauffele also won that PGA, and he was the only golfer to win multiple majors this season.

Scottie Scheffler entered Royal Troon in the midst of a historic season and the heavy betting favorite. Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau were among the favorites but crashed out early. In the end, Schauffele's win was a big statement from a player who entered 2024 as perhaps the best player in golf without a major. For Schauffele, those days are history.
