Cameron Smith earns $2.5 million and the full prize money payouts for each player at the 2022 British Open at St. Andrews
British Open #BritishOpen
It pays to play well in professional golf tournaments, especially at major championships. Just ask this week’s winner, Cameron Smith.
The 28-year-old Aussie shot an 8-under 64 at the Old Course at St. Andrews in the final round of the 150th playing of the Open Championship to overcome a four-shot deficit and earn a one-shot win over Cameron Young to claim his first major title. Smith finished at 20 under to earn the top prize of $2.5 million, with Young taking home $1.46 million. Not a bad consolation prize.
Check out how much money each professional player made this week at the Open at St. Andrews (remember, no cash for the amateurs).
