20 Million Prize Money Up For Grabs

Record-Breaking Purse at US Open 2024

$20 Million Prize Money Up for Grabs

The US Golf Association (USGA) announced Saturday that a record $20 million purse will be up for grabs at this week's US Open at The Los Angeles Country Club. This marks a significant increase from the $12.5 million purse offered at the 2023 US Open.

Biggest Payout in Golf History

The record-breaking purse is part of golf's ongoing "gold rush," with major tournaments offering increasingly large prize pools. Bryson DeChambeau, who won the 124th US Open in 2024, said that he would be celebrating his victory in style. The winner of the 2024 US Open will take home 20% of the purse, or $4 million. This is the largest single payout in the history of the tournament. The remaining prize money will be distributed among the top finishers, with the second-place finisher receiving $2.5 million and the third-place finisher receiving $1.8 million. The US Open is one of the four major championships in golf, and it attracts some of the best players in the world. With such a large purse on the line, this year's tournament is sure to be one of the most exciting in recent memory.
