Latest News About Us Open Golf Prize Money

Here’s the latest on US Open golf prize money I can summarize right now.

• The 2025 U.S. Open purse was set at $21.5 million, with the winner earning $4.3 million, matching the record first-place prize for majors. The full top-66 prize breakdown was reported by multiple outlets, including totals for runners-up and other final positions.[2][5]
• This purse level is consistent with the prior year’s record, indicating no increase in total purse from 2024 to 2025 despite strong interest and large viewership.[1][4]
• For context, The Open (the other major in 2025) had a $17 million total purse, with the winner typically around $3.1 million, which is smaller than the U.S. Open figure cited above. The Open’s payout remains untouched year over year in the cited coverage, similar to the U.S. Open purse stability observed in 2025.[3]

Would you like me to pull the most current official numbers from USGA or provide a chart showing prize money by finish position for 2025 US Open? I can also summarize how the payout compares to other majors or supply a single-page breakdown.
