Women's British Open Gets Another Bump in Prize Money to $10 Million
- On Tuesday, the R&A and AIG announced the AIG Women's Open purse will increase to $10 million, marking the sixth consecutive year of prize fund growth for the championship.
- The partnership between the R&A and AIG has fueled sustained growth, with the tournament's prize fund tripling in size over the last eight years.
- This makes the AIG Women's Open the third LPGA major with an eight-figure purse, trailing the U.S. Women's Open and KPMG Women's PGA at $12 million each; broadcast coverage expanded to 34 hours.
- R&A CEO Mark Darbon said the investments 'clearly demonstrate' a commitment to elevating the championship globally, following last week's Chevron Championship purse increase to $9 million.
- The tournament will return to Sunningdale in 2028, marking its first appearance at the venue since 2008, as prize money increases reflect a broader upward trend in women's golf.
