After a fresh influx of $5 million, the U.S. Open purse is now the richest in the championship’s history, with $17.5 million up for grabs.
That means this year’s U.S. Open champion at The Country Club will surpass the payout received by 2021 champion Jon Rahm, who pocketed $2.25 million for his win at Torrey Pines, by a whopping $900,000, with a $3.15 million payday. The runner-up will receive a cool $1.89 million, and third place will clear seven figures too, with a payout of $1.22 million.
Even the players who missed the cut (of which there were 92) receive a payout of $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 2022 U.S. Open payout for each player below.
