The Open Championship past winners: Last 10 years winners explored

The Open Championship, the oldest of golf's Major Championships, first teed off at Prestwick Golf Club in Scotland in 1860. This prestigious tournament continues its legacy in 2024 with the 152nd edition, hosted by Royal Troon Golf Club, welcoming a field of roughly 158 golfers.

This year, the R&A has increased the prize money for the 2024 Open Championship. The total purse this year is $17 million, with the winner taking the maximum share of $3.1 million.

The Open Championship boasts a rich history of international champions. Over the past decade alone, legends like Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy, and Jordan Spieth have lifted the coveted Claret Jug, etching their names as "Champion Golfer of the Year."

Interestingly, no golfer has won this tournament twice in the last ten years. The Claret Jug has been won by a different golfer each year.
