Monday after The Open Championship may be one of the worst.

Scottie Scheffler won his fourth career major championship on Sunday at the Open Championship, adding to his growing legacy.

Five days after Scottie Scheffler waxed poetic about not finding his life's joy from winning golf tournaments, he won another golf tournament -- a big one. The Open Championship. His first win at The Open, and his fourth career major title.

Along with golf's oldest major trophy and the title of Champion Golfer of the Year, players were vying for their portion of a $17 million purse at the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.

Phil Mickelson shifted from subtle jabs to open admiration for Scottie Scheffler following his dominant Open Championship win.

The 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush featured a $17 million purse, with $3.1 million going to Scottie Scheffler, who closed with a final-round 68 to finish 17 under par and claim his first Claret Jug. Players who made the cut earned at least $38,900, ensuring solid payouts across the top 70.

PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland — As Scottie Scheffler exited the 18th green at Royal Portrush on Sunday, off to make things official in the scorer’s tent, his father, Scott Scheffler, was being a dad.

The Open Championship continued on Saturday at Royal Portrush in Antrim, Northern Ireland as Rory McIlroy and other big name golfers chased leaders Matt Fitzpatrick and Scottie Scheffler. McIlroy found himself tied for 11th on the leaderboard at -5 as the day continued to unwind.
