The 149th Open Championship concluded Sunday with 24-year-old Collin Morikawa conquering Royal St. George's for his second career major. In doing so, Morikawa became the first golfer in history to two majors in his debut at those events (the other being the 2020 PGA Championship) and just the eighth to capture two majors before the age of 25.

The R&A announced earlier this month that it has boosted the purse for the 2021 Open to $11.5 million, which is on par with the three other major championships. The share for the event's Champion Golfer of the Year increased to $2.07 million, up modestly from $1.94 million two years ago, while the increase represents a $750,000 overall bump from 2019. The $11.5 million purse is the same as the Masters but slightly less than the U.S. Open ($12.5 million) and PGA Championship ($12 million).

"We have increased the prize fund for The Open this year and believe that it fully reflects the Championship's stature in world sport," said R&A CEO Martin Slumbers. "As the only men's major championship played outside of America, The Open has a global role to play and we are determined to continue to attract the top players. We are further enhancing the status of our professional championships at the same time as making good progress towards our investment of 200 million pounds over 10 years in growing golf around the world."

This is all a far cry from the first 31 Opens, which included purses under 100 pounds and some of which did not include a payout at all. This year's purse is tantamount to a little over 8 million pounds. The Open first surpassed the 5 million pounds mark at none other than Royal St. George's when Darren Clarke won back in 2011.
