A whopping $12.5 million purse will be distributed on Sunday at the 2020 U.S. Open with nearly half the pot ($5.5 million) set to be divvied out to the top five finishers. The $12.5 million pool ties for the largest total purse for any of the major championships with the Open Championship, topping the PGA Championship and the Masters.
It’s the same total purse as last year’s U.S. Open, and the prize money for each slot remains the same, too. The first-place finisher will take home $2.25 million, while the runner-up will earn $1.35 million. Third-place will take home $830,466, fourth-place wins $582,175, and the fifth-place finisher collects $484,896.
Considering the scoring we have seen at the U.S. Open this year, this is still anyone’s major. The 54-hole leader, Matthew Wolff, is looking to go the distance, but it’s Bryson DeChambeau — the new leader midway through Round 4 — who aims to come away with the big prize by the time Sunday’s action is out.
Let’s take a look at how the prize money breaks down for the 2020 U.S. Open. If golfers tie for a place, they will split an average of the combined winnings of their respective spots on the leaderboard.
