The 2023 US Open purse has increased significantly over the years.
Just two years ago, in 2021, the purse was set at US$12,5 million, and it was the most lucrative payout out of all the major championships. How times have changed!
Last year, the 2022 US Open purse increased to US$17,5 million, a US$5 million jump. And this year, the 2023 US Open purse jumped yet again to a whopping total of US$20 million.
(The Players Championship remains the richest purse in golf at a total of US$25 million.)
To save you from doing the math, that’s a US$7,5 million purse increase in just two years. What a time to be a pro golfer!
This year’s US Open champion will surpass the payout received by 2022 champion, Matt Fitzpatrick, by an impressive US$450 000, with a US$3,6 million total payday. The runner-up will receive a cool US$2,16 million, and third place will clear seven figures too, with a payout of US$1 413 430.
Even the players who missed the cut receive a payout of US$10 000 each. So how much did the rest of the players in the field come away with this year? You can find a complete list of the 2023 US. Open payouts for each player below.
