If an Amateur golfer wins the British open, i no he doesn't get the cash, but does he get the claret jug?

Question

Update: If anyone could provide an internet link, to prove that the amateur would definately get the jug but no the cash, i would greatly appreciate it.

Answer 1

He would take home the silverware but would not get any cash unless he was pro.

GO PADRIG HARRINGTON!

I know Amy Yang's brother and he said when she won the event on the gold coast she was able to keep the trophy but no prize money (this was back when she was a amatuer)

I looked all over the internet for a link but couldn't find one.

Answer 2

It's just the cash they can't take.

I have tried finding the official rule on the net but no luck

Answer 3

yes he does because its a trophy and not a cash prize
