For the 2010 year:For 2010: The total purse has risen by £600,000, to take the amount to £4.8 million...

The defending champion, Stuart Cink, took home £750,000 last year, but Louis Oosthuizen will collect £850,000 this year. The rise in the purse is apparently due to the weak pound against the US Dollar and the Euro. Second-placed Lee Westwood will take home £500,000 and even the player at the bottom of the leaderboard after the final round will still collect £2,250.

Mcdowell-$1,350,000; Havret-$810,000; Els-$480,687; Woods and Michelson-$303,119 each; Love and Kuchar-$228,255 each

For the 2008 year:The total prize fund for the 2008 Open Championship will be £4.2 million, the same as in 2007. That equates to just over $8.3 million, or €5.25 million.

Prize money for the winner will also remain the same as in 2007. The player who lifts the Claret Jug at Royal Birkdale will receive £750,000 - that's equivalent to US$1.49 million or €939,000.

Padrig Harrington won the 2008 Open Championship and $1,498,875

Ian Poulter came in 2nd place and won $899,325

Henrik Stenson and Greg Norman came in tied for 3rd place and each won $509,618

Jim Furyk tied for 5th and won $359,730

There was a total of $8,169,179 awarded to the 83 players who made the cut.

Two amateurs finished in the top 83, Chris Wood (Tied for 5th) and Thomas Sherreard (Tied for 19th) but they do not get any prize money.
