The winner of the 152nd Open at Royal Troon will receive USD 3.1 million in prize money. The Champion Golfer of the Year will pocket the highest amount in The Open's history as it returns to the renowned Ayrshire links for the tenth time. The R&A announced an increase of half a million dollars in the prize purse for the 2024 Open to be played from July 18 to 21.

Shubhankar Sharma will be the only Indian passport holder teeing off at the 152nd Open Championship at Royal Troon, Scotland on Thursday even as several Indian-origin players, including Akshay Bhatia, would aim to hold aloft the Claret Jug at the oldest Major over the weekend.

Apart from Sharma, the other Indian touch at Liverpool was Sahith Theegala, who missed the cut. However, this time around, there is a strong Indian flavour in the field, including Theegala, one of the most exciting young stars, Bhatia, the left-hander who defied the popular norm of playing college before turning pro, and Aaron Rai, whose habit of wearing gloves on both hands, turns head in the golfing world.
