There is talk of money, as always in the world of golf, and the USGA had a lot to talk about this week when CEO Mike Whan announced on Wednesday a significant increase in the bag of the US Open 2022. Growing 5 million year after year, the U.S. Open will now pay $ 17.5 million to those who made the weekend cut. This is officially the largest bag in the history of major championships.
As a benchmark, the Masters and PGA Championship paid $ 15 million this year with $ 2.7 million awarded to respective champions Scottie Scheffler and Justin Thomas. The winner of the U.S. Open will receive $ 3.15 million, more than the $ 2.25 million Jon Rahm took home last year. However, the top prize will not be the highest paid this year, as Cameron Smith already broke a record $ 3.6 million for his victory in The Players Championship in March.
The U.S. Open Award Awards are not only welcome news for those fighting for the national championship, but even those who rank in the top 20 at the end of the week will receive a sum important. All 20 first-place finishers will receive $ 200,000 north for their problems facing the Brookline, Massachusetts Country Club.
Let’s take a look at how the payouts for the 2022 U.S. Open will be distributed among the top 60 players arriving at the Country Club over the weekend.
