2018 U.S. Open Purse Breakdown
- Updated: June 15, 2018
The U.S. Open boasts the highest purse in golf. After all, it is the USGA’s premier event.
The prize for the 118th U.S. Open contested at Shinnecock Hills is set at $12 million with the winner’s share being a whopping $2,160,000. Brooks Koepka collected the same check back in 2017 when he took home the title at Erin Hills … and he’s cashing another in 2018.
Second place will cash in $1,296,000 … pretty good for being the first loser.
Each professional who missed the cut makes a quick $4,000 for 2 days of play. Not a bad gig if you can get it!
