Scottish Open payout distribution 2024: Prize money, purse

After the thrilling down-to-the-wire finish we saw between eventual champion Rory McIlroy and runner-up Robert Macintyre at the Scottish Open a year ago, golf fans had to be hoping that the PGA Tour and DP World Tour co-sanctioned event at The Renaissance Club this week would deliver some similar fireworks.

In the final stop before The Open Championship, the 2024 Scottish Open has indeed delivered the goods. Young Ludvig Åberg put himself near the top the leaderboard after the first round and has stayed there, specifically at the very top after 36 and 54 holes, since. He entered Sunday's action with a two-stroke lead over Macintyre, who surged into position with a 7-under round on Saturday in Scotland.

However, those two aren't out of the danger zone with some of those chasing them. Adam Scott was just one stroke back of Macintyre and three back of Åberg with guys like Collin Morikawa, Sahith Theegala and Sungjae Im only four back of the 54-hole leader. And let's not forget about Rory, five strokes back coming into the final round but always capable going on a ludicrous run.

Obviously, much of this week is about getting into form for The Open. But there is also the 2024 Scottish Open prize money on the line. How much is the payout this week in North Berwick, Scotland, though? We have it all broken down for you.

Scottish Open purse 2024: Winner's prize money, total purse

The winner of the 2024 Scottish Open will take home $1.62 million in prize money this week after their play in North Berwick. That's a nice share for the winner out of the $9 million purse that players teed it up for their piece of this week in the DP World Tour-PGA Tour co-sanctioned event, especially considering that no other player in the field will clear seven figures for the week with their payout for the tournament at The Renaissance Club.

Scottish Open payout distribution by finishing position in 2024

Here's how the payouts break down for every finishing position at the 2024 Scottish Open:

No one should've been expecting a huge purse or payouts for the Scottish Open. Even though it's a co-sanctioned event, it is not a signature event on the PGA Tour, nor is it a major championship. As such, the prize money on the line was always going to be more akin to a standard PGA Tour event or a high-end DP World Tour event, which is what we see here.

But while no one outside of the winner will clear the $1 million mark this week on the paycheck, it's always nice to see that every player who finishes in the Top 22 at The Renaissance Club will get a six-figure payday for their efforts. Meanwhile, the last-place finisher will receive $17,730. We will see all of these numbers increase dramatically next week at Royal Troon for The Open Championship, though.
