"Record-Breaking $16.5 Million Purse: Payouts and Winnings at the 2023 British Open"

The 2023 British Open Championship at Royal Liverpool will have a record $16.5 million purse, with the winner receiving $3 million. The R&A has increased the prize money by 18% from last year, but it remains the smallest purse among the four major championships. The organization aims to balance prize money increases with supporting the AIG Women's Open and promoting golf globally. The total prize money has nearly doubled since 2016, and additional prize money will be added if more than 70 pros qualify for the final two rounds.

Alvarez has not responded to the offer yet, but has been angling for a rematch with Dmitry Bivol. A fight with Benavidez could be a better fight in the ring and a more compelling business proposition.
