2025 U.S. Open purse, prize money: Payouts, winner share from record $21.5 million pool at Oakmont
The third of golf's four majors is in the Books.
The 2025 U.S. Open made its way to Oakmont with the city hosting a major championship for record 10th times in history books.
J.J. Spaun just pocketed $4.3 million as the winner of the 2025 U.S. Open.
The winner of the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club takes home the biggest earning of the total purse of $21.5 million, the U.S. Golf Association revealed ahead of the tournament.
Both the prize money and the purse amounts are the highest of the four major golf tournaments and are the same as last year's, when Bryson DeChambeau took home the title with a one-shot victory over Rory McIlroy at Pinehurst Resort, Course No. 2 in North Carolina.
Even though the purse amount did not change this year, it still signifies a healthy increase, as four years ago the total purse was $12.5 million, with the winner receiving $2.25 million.
What is the total US Open purse in 2025?
First time in five years the USGA isn’t increasing the payday at the U.S. Open.
The 2025 U.S. Open boasts a record-setting $21.5 million purse, which is a $1.5 million increase from 2023 tournament, $20M. It marks the largest-ever payout for a major event.
The 2024 Masters gave out $20 million in winnings while the PGA Championship had a $18.5 million purse, while the The Open purse will be $16,500,000.
Hopefully that feeling evaporates fairly quickly as they absorb the fact that the purse remains at $21.5 million, the most given out at any major championship, with the winner still earning $4.3 million.
Note: the 76 professionals who missed the cut each also received $10,000
More context: Let’s consider how much the USGA has paid U.S. Open winners over time. As you can see, the reward has become exponentially greater in recent years.
