The US Open has more on the line than ever before. The obvious prestige of winning one of golf’s finest tournaments is on the line, but bragging rights in a turbulent PGA-LIV split camp and a mega prize money pot will offer even greater incentives.

Prize money for a number of tournaments has been lifted due to increased opportunities for players with LIV Golf on the scene. The US Open will be no exception.

For context, the Players Championship ramped up its prize total from $20 million to $25 million from 2022 to 2023 to make it the most lucrative tournament on the calendar.

This year, the US Open will witness a rise from $17.5 million to a record $20 million for this event, with the winner set to pick up a cool $3.6m for his efforts at the Los Angeles Country Club.

There will be plenty of opportunities for players across the field to earn a sizeable payday, but for those who wrestle at the top of the pack, it could be a highly profitable week in California.
