For the second straight year, the winner of the 2018 U.S. Women’s Open will take home $900,000 as first prize, in addition to the U.S. Open trophy, of course. With a total purse of $5 million, the event holds by far the biggest purse in women’s golf, and it holds that distinction by more than $1 million. It will all be decided this week down at Shoal Creek in Alabama, with the first round kicking off Thursday.
