How much prize money did Chris Gotterup win at the 2025 Genesis Scottish Open?

Coming into the final day of action in North Berwick, Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy jointly led the way following his Saturday card of 4-under-par 66 in the third round of the Genesis Scottish Open.

“I think I’m pretty close to being back to the level I was at going into the Masters,” McIlroy said after the third round. “I think I’ve had a little bit of a lull, which I feel is understandable. So I’m just getting back to the level that I know that I can play at.”

McIlroy, bidding to win the tournament for the second time in three years, was tied atop the leaderboard with second-round leader Chris Gotterup (Denmark) at the Renaissance Club. Gotterup had a 21-foot putt on the final hole with a chance to become the solo leader, but it was barely off the mark, so he settled for a third-round 70.

“It’s going to take a good round for sure, and I’m going to go give it my best,” Gotterup said of the upcoming final 18 holes.

On a dramatic final round the lead changed hands between the Dane and Northern Irish star with Gotterup always holding a slight one shot advantage with Gotterup looking to add to his one PGA Tour event win which was the 2024 Myrtle Beach Classic.

The 16th hole was definitive as McIlroy missed a birdie putt with the 25-year-old Dane holding his nerve and sinking his to pull two shots clear and ultimately secure the title.

As winner of the Genesis Scottish Open, Gotterup will collect $1.575 million from the overall $9 million purse.
