US Open golf 2024 expected prize money | How much will players earn?

The third golf major of 2024 is nearly upon us, with Pinehurst, North Carolina, set to play host to the 124th edition of the US Open between 14th and 16th June.

There is more money in the sport than ever before, with the ongoing PGA Tour and LIV Golf civil war seeing prize purses rise in a bid to ensure that the best in the game snub the Saudi Arabian riches.

Nowhere has that been truer than at the US Open, which last year became the first tournament ever to offer a purse of $20 million.

That will no doubt increase again for 2024, while it has already been confirmed that the winner will be due 20 per cent of the total winnings – up from 18 per cent – which will only serve as extra motivation to the likes of Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele

RadioTimes.com brings you all the details about the US Open 2024 prize money pot.
