How much money will Leona Maguire make after 4th placed finish at The Open?

Leona Maguire is in for a big pay-day, having carded a stunning final round of 66 to finish on 7-under par at the AIG Women's Open Championship this week.

The Irishwoman shot the best score of the day on Sunday at Muirfield. As a result of her stellar Sunday play, the LPGA Tour winner is the clubhouse leader and currently sits in a tie for fourth place.

Unfortunately for Maguire, she will not be able to take home the trophy this week having started the day twelve strokes off the top of the leaderboard. The 27 year old will however take home a huge sum of money for her excellent finish in the tournament.

If Maguire holds onto the fourth placed finish that she currently holds, she'll take home a cheque of $402,734. A fifth placed finish will see Maguire head home with $323,565 and sixth place is worth a little over a quarter of a million dollars.

The prize money for this years Open Championship was bigger than ever and is reported to be in the region of $7.3 million. This is a sizeable increase over the past few editions of the tournament, with the 2021 prize money being worth $5.8 million and the 2018 iteration having a prize fund worth $3.25 million.

Both the PGA and LPGA Tour have been forced into raising prize money this year due to the growing threat by the Saudi backed LIV Golf series, which has already poached a number of the sports top stars.

Maguire did indeed end up holding onto that fourth place and takes home a little over $400,000.
