Open Championship: $17 Million Purse Breakdown as Scottie Scheffler Runs Away with It
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content.
Scottie Scheffler won the Open Championship with a score of 17-under, four strokes ahead of runner-up Harris English. The new Champion Golfer of the Year gave another example of his extraordinary superiority in men's professional golf, earning standing ovations from the crowd at Royal Portrush.
Scheffler carded a final-round 68, with five birdies and a double bogey on the eighth hole. That was precisely his only difficult moment of the day, when he sent his tee shot into a fairway bunker and, as he tried to clear it with his second shot, the ball hit the edge of the slope and rolled straight back to his feet.
The rest of the round was more of the good old Scheffler. He hit 57% of the fairways in the round, reached 83.3% of the greens in regulations, and didn't three-putt a single hole. Just as he said he would the day before.
Scheffler thus claimed the fourth major title of his professional golf career and the third leg of the Career Grand Slam. Only the US Open remains for him to complete this tremendous feat.

Scottie Scheffler's Toddler Steals the Show After British Open Win
Originally appeared on E! Online Scottie Sheffler's baby boy made his latest victory un-fore-gettable. After the golfer secured his victory during the 153rd Open Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club July 22, his 14-month-old son Bennett—who he shares with Meredith Scudder—couldn't wait to celebrate with his dad. In the adorable moment captured during the championship, Scottie stood at the 18th hole holding onto the claret jug trophy as little Bennett—complete with a pacifier—attempted to walk up the green. The toddler left the crowd shocked as he toppled over and did a little face plant before an open official helped him up and handed him to his father. Scottie celebrated by lifting Bennett and his trophy in the air, before his wife of five years walked over and greeted him with a kiss. As for little Bennett's run on the green, the 29-year-old admitted it was just par for the course. More from E! Online Erik Menendez Diagnosed With "Serious Medical Condition" Ozzy Osbourne Suffered "5 Years of Absolute Hell" Before Death Ozzy Osbourne, Rock Legend, Dead at 76 'He was trying to get up that hill on the side of the green,' Scottie explained July 20 during the post-Open press conference. 'I don't think he's ever been up a hill that big before. I felt kinda bad for him. He kept falling down.' 'But that's part of the learning curve and growing up,' he added. 'And it's very cool to have him here. He obviously has no clue what's going on. He just wants to spend some time with me. I hadn't really seen him much of the day so it's pretty cool.' Indeed, Scottie's win was made better by the people he loves the most. 'When I see my family afterwards, it's a pretty special feeling,' he said. 'It's hard to describe, but it's something I'm very grateful for and something that I'll hold on to for a long time.'

Jamal Adams signs with Raiders to reunite with Pete Carroll
Former Jets defensive back Jamal Adams has found a new NFL home. The three-time Pro Bowl safety is reuniting with former Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll on the Raiders, the team announced Tuesday. Adams played with Carroll for four years after being traded to the Seahawks in 2020. 4 Jamal Adams in 2019. Getty Images It's been a winding pro journey since the safety began his NFL career with the Jets in 2017 after he was selected sixth overall in that year's draft. While in New York, Adams was an integral part of Gang Green's secondary, recording 273 tackles, 12 sacks, and two interceptions over three seasons, getting an All-Pro nod in 2019. Nevertheless, in the 2019 offseason, he requested a trade away from the organization as he sought an extension that the Jets were not willing to give. On top of that, he became frustrated with the team and called out Jets leadership — from ownership to the front office. Last year, Adams said he matured and realized he did not handle his Jets exit in the best way when he reflected on his New York experience. '[Jets] fans, I didn't know I hurt 'em like that,' he said. 'I didn't realize I had that much impact. And then obviously the older I got, I started to realize, 'Bro, you had it all. You had it all besides the winning. Everything else, you had it all. Anything a player could ask for.' But it didn't work out for me. I asked for the trade out. And if I look back on it now, I would tell myself, 'Don't make an emotional decision.' ' 4 Jamal Adams speaking to the media in 2019 as a member of the Jets. Bill Kostroun/New York Post The Jets finally granted Adams a move away from the organization in July 2020 with a deal to the Seahawks in return for two first-round picks. Unfortunately for Adams, this is when injuries began to hamper his career. During his time in Seattle, he never played more than 12 games in a season. In 2022, things hit a low point when Adams had to leave the first game of the season in the second quarter after a quad injury. It held him out of the rest of the season. 4 Jamal Adams while with the Seahawks. Getty Images And after one more season in 2023, Adams was then let go by the Seahawks in March 2024. Last year, he played with the Titans and Lions, suiting up in five total games. 4 Raiders head coach Pete Carroll.
