Tommy Fleetwood saw the funny side after an embarrassing clerical error by the European Tour saw someone else receive his prize money from The Open Championship

Golf’s oldest major returns to Royal Portrush this week with the world’s best players gathered in Northern Ireland for the 153rd Open Championship.

For the first time since 2012, the British Open leaves its prize money unchanged at $17 million. Other golf majors like the U.S. Open and The Masters have seen recent increases, highlighting how these championships prioritize legacy over prize.
