2023 U.S. Open purse is $20 million, with $3.6 million going to the winner; top three finishers will all clear $1 million

Another U.S. Open, another record pile of cash to be distributed.

LOS ANGELES – Another U.S. Open, another record pile of cash to be distributed.

The 123rd U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club’s North Course will feature the most money paid out in the major ever.

“We’ll play for the largest purse in USGA history,” USGA CEO Mike Whan said Wednesday. “We’ll play for $20 million this week with the winner’s check $3.6 million.”

That’s right in line with the money awarded at the PGA Tour’s designated events during the season.

The USGA on Saturday morning released the full rundown of prize money. The runner-up will pocket $2.16 million with the third-place finisher also clearing a million dollars at $1.41 million. Tenth place is good for $491,182.

Matt Fitzpatrick banked $3.15 million a year ago after winning at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. Jon Rahm won $2.25 million two years ago Torrey Pines in San Diego.

But a huge bank deposit is just part of the spoils of success. The 2023 champ will also get:

  • U.S. Open exemption for the next 10 years
  • Invitations to the next five Masters Tournaments, the next five Open Championships, the next five PGA Championships and the next five Players Championships
  • Exempt status on the PGA Tour for five years
  • U.S. Open trophy (for one year), a Jack Nicklaus Medal and a replica trophy to keep

The 2023 U.S. Open is June 15-18.

Top 10 LPGA moments in 2022: A stirring revival, a stunning collapse and big-money Sundays

There were plenty of storylines that captured our attention throughout the year.

The 2022 LPGA season will be known as Lydia Ko’s comeback year. And while the one-time prodigy rightly grabbed all the headlines as the season came to a close, there were plenty of other storylines that captured our attention throughout 2022.

The Jin Young Ko/Nelly Korda budding rivalry was abruptly stopped due to health reasons. The two combined for nine LPGA titles in 2021 and won a total of two in 2022.

In their stead, a wave of first-time winners who ranged from rookies to thirtysomethings created plenty of feel-good moments. In fact, two first-time winners included on this list took home major championship trophies.

Scotland’s Gemma Dryburgh became the LPGA’s 11th first-time winner of 2022 in Japan (winning a toilet!), which matches a tour record set in 1995. The players hailed from nine different countries.

In many ways, it was a milestone season, marked by record-setting purses, historic venues and plenty of memorable moments.

Here are the 10 best:
