U.S. Open prize money breakdown

Not only will the 123rd U.S. Open winner derive lifetime satisfaction of navigating a world-class layout against 155 elite-level adversaries, he will bring home $3.6 million for his work.

The USGA announced Saturday a record $20 million purse for this week’s U.S. Open at The Los Angeles Country Club, with accompanying prize money breakdown. It marks a $2.5 million purse increase from last year’s U.S. Open at The Country Club, where winner Matt Fitzpatrick earned $3.15 million from a $17.5 million purse.

In addition to the 61 professionals who made the cut, the 76 pros who missed the cut will each receive $10,000.

(For context, the first U.S. Open winner, Horace Rawlins in 1895, earned $150.)

Of the 65 players who advanced to the weekend at 2-over 142 or better, four were amateurs – Gordon Sargent, Maxwell Moldovan, Aldrich Potgieter and Ben Carr – and will not receive prize money.

The 76 professionals who missed the cut will each receive a $10,000 payout, it was also announced Saturday.
