Some golfing greats are again battling it out to be crowned 2025 Senior Open champion at the fabulous Old Course at Sunningdale.
It's not a links course playing host this time, but it is one of the most famous courses in the land that will test the veterans of the sport.
Last year, KJ Choi picked up his maiden men's senior Major title as he claimed a two-shot victory over Australian Richard Green at Carnoustie.
And the prize pot this year is the same, with an overall purse of $2.85m on offer and a first prize of $447,800 for the winner.
It's still way below the $4m total prize pot and $800,000 winner's cheque that's available for the US Senior Open though.
This one is not about the money though, as it's still one of the most prestigious titles available in the world of seniors golf.
Below is the prize money payout for the Senior Open.

Where is the Senior Open Played?
After the exposed, breezy links up at Carnoustie, the Senior Open is taking shelter insure this year at the prestigious Old Course at Sunningdale.
The Berkshire course last staged the event back in 2021 when Wales' Stephen Dodd claimed the title, and it's made a swift return.
It's a par 70 for the players this week, with the Old Course measuring 6682 for some of the biggest names ever to swing a club to tackle.
Sunningdale's Old Course is hosting the Senior Open for the fourth time and it's a course that always gains rave reviews and as much as it's picturesque it also offers a tough test.
Cunningly placed bunkers are lurking with whispy long hay surrounding a lot of them, and good luck playing a full shot out of that heather!
