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 of dollars year after year, the U.S. Open will pay $ 17.5 million to those who made the cut over the weekend. This is officially the largest bag in the history of major championships.
Taking advantage of these growing funds was Matt Fitzpatrick, who captured the U.S. Open at once over Will Zalatoris and Scottie Scheffler. In doing so, Fitzpatrick claimed a winning fee of $ 3.15 million, nearly $ 500,000 more than the Masters and PGA Championship he paid to respective champions Scottie Scheffler and Justin Thomas ($ 2.7 million). as part of their $ 15 million wallets.
2021 U.S. Open champion Jon Rahm took home $ 2.25 million, bringing the USGA year-on-year increase to $ 900,000. However, the top prize was not the highest paid this year, as Cameron Smith took home a record $ 3.6 million for his victory in The Players Championship in March.
The U.S. Open Award Awards were not only welcome news for those who competed for the national championship, but even those who finished in the top 20 are expected to receive a significant sum. All 20 first-place finishers 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.
