There’s a lot to happen in the final two rounds from 6-7 August. Let’s find out how much the winner will take home.
Women’s British Open 2022 Purse and Prize Money Payouts
The R&A announced that the AIG Women’s Open 2022 purse and payouts will be $7.3million, a 26% increase on the 2021 edition. It’s a significant increase from the $5.8m in 2021 and $4.5m in 2020. The purse is now more than double what was in 2018, before the sponsorship with AIG.
“Last year we took a very bold step to substantially increase the prize fund of the Women’s British Open,” said the Chief Executive of R&A Marin Slumbers. “This year at the Women’s British Open, the players will be competing for $7.3 million, which is an increase of 26% on last year and also sees the total investment into the prize fund increase by just over $4 million or 125% since The R&A and AIG began our partnership in 2019.”
What will be the winner’s share of the AIG Women’s British Open? Well, the major winner will pocket more than a million USD. To be exact, the winner’s prize money is a whopping $1,095,000.
