Like every official tournament, the field of the Open will be cut down to the top 65 and its ties after the first two rounds. Moreover, only the players who finish all four rounds can win their share of the entire purse.
Notably, the Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland, has one of the best fields of the entire season. The field includes the Masters champion, Scottie Scheffler, the PGA Championship winner, Justin Thomas, and the U. S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick. Additionally, Min Woo Lee, the defending champion, is also part of the field.

The champion’s payout and other benefits
The champion of the event will be awarded $1,440,000 as prize money, along with other benefits.
Notably, until last year, the winner used to get the Race to Dubai points. However, since the PGA Tour co-sanctioned the event, the champion will get 500 FedEx points. He will also be rewarded 70 OWGR points. Moreover, he will get a two-plus season exemption on the PGA Tour, berths into the 2023 Masters, PGA Championship, and Sentry Tournament of Champions.
