US Open prize money

Money talks -- as always in the world of golf -- and the USGA had plenty of talking to do this week when CEO Mike Whan announced Wednesday a significant ...

53rd: $39,432 -- Sebastian Soderberg, Beau Hossler ($39,248 each) 49th: $44,038 -- Sam Bennett (a), Patrick Reed, Sam Stevens, David Lingmerth ($41,873 each) 2nd: $1,890,000 -- Will Zalatoris, Scottie Scheffler ($1.56M each) All top 20 finishers are receiving north of $200,000 for their troubles tackling The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. 2021 U.S. Open champion Jon Rahm took home $2.25 million, so the year-over-year increase from the USGA stood at $900,000. Growing by $5 million year over year, the U.S. Open will pay out $17.5 million to those who made the weekend cut.

The US Open winner will take home a big check on Sunday, the biggest payout in major championship history.

The increase in US Open prize money is good news for the winner, but also for everyone else competing this weekend. Here is how much the top 20 players earned at the 2022 US Open at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. USGA’s Mike Whan announced the day before play began on Thursday that the purse would be $5 million more than last year, totalling $17.5 million.

Breaking down the US Open payout for 2022 at The Country Club with record prize money for the winner and for the purse overall this year.

This is a huge amount of money being thrown around for the 2022 US Open purse but it’s worth it for this championship. T14. Nick Hardy – $241,302 T14. Hayden Buckley – $241,302 T14. Sebastian Muñoz – $241,302 T14. Patrick Cantlay – $241,302 T14. Cameron Tringale – $241,302 T14. Adam Scott – $241,302 T14. Xander Schauffele – $241,302 T14. Guido Migliozzi – $241,302 That’s nearly $1 million more than what Jon Rahm received for winning at Torrey Pines just one year ago. Not only were these players looking for the prestige of being a major winner at this tournament though, they were also looking for their portion of a massive US Open payout with a new record-setting purse at $17.5 million for 2022. Anyone who wants the US Open to be a brutal and difficult test of golf was treated to what The Country Club at Brookline had to offer this week.

Intro After three rounds,Matthew Fitzpatrick andWill Zalatoris held a one-stroke lead. Neither had a win on the PGA Tour heading into this week's U.S. Open; ...

T-7: Keegan Bradley (-1), $487,926 T-7: Adam Hadwin (-1), $487,926 T-7: Denny McCarthy (-1), $487,926 Let's take a look at how the prize money payout looks for the final leaderboard. Masters champion Scottie Scheffler tied Zalatoris for second place at the U.S. Open at 5 under. T-5: Rory McIlroy (-2), $674, 953 T-5: Collin Morikawa (-2), $674, 953 T-2: Will Zalatoris (-5), $1,557,687 He had won the U.S. Amateur on the course in 2013 when he was 18 years old and he now joins Jack Nicklaus as the only players to win that tournament and the U.S. Open on the same course. T-2: Scottie Scheffler (-5), $1,557,687 The moment @MattFitz94 became a major champion! After three rounds and heading into Sunday, Fitzpatrick and Will Zalatoris held a one-stroke lead.

And they certainly don't win America's national championship on the same course where they had previously claimed the U.S. Amateur title, a feat achieved only ...

Other than that, the pair worked on taking a lot of “set” out of Fitzpatrick’s left wrist, a move that has revolutionized his iron play. As a result of his work with bio-mechanist Sasho Mackenzie and a Speedstick called “The Stack,” Fitzpatrick is now much longer off the tee. But the knock on him—a reason perhaps why he had yet to win as a professional in the U.S.—was always that he lacked the length to compete at the elite level. “It was heartbreaking to lose that day,” Foster says. But his approach play and chipping are now on a level with the rest of his game. Gone is the short-hitting but accurate short-game specialist, replaced by the owner of a strong all-round game. And the rest is history.” The holing of putts has always been a strength of the Fitzpatrick game, alongside his metronomic ability to find fairways from the tee. “Anyway, we met at the Bear's Club in Florida and studied the full list of notes we had on his chipping,” Walker continued. I've got a bit of a way to go, but this is a good start. But the 19-footer that disappeared into the cup two holes later for what turned out to be the decisive birdie is surely a close second. Fitzpatrick’s historic breakthrough at the highest level—achieved while staying with the same family and sleeping in the same room he did back in August 2013—is hardly the biggest surprise, of course.

England's Matt Fitzpatrick has won the US Open, emerging victorious from a rollercoaster three-way war with Scottie Scheffler and Will Zalatoris on the ...

297 - Harris English (USA) 73-69-78-77, Austin Greaser (USA) 72-70-76-79 280 - Gary Woodland (USA) 69-73-69-69, Joel Dahmen (USA) 67-68-74-71 275 - Scottie Scheffler (USA) 70-67-71-67, Will Zalatoris (USA) 69-70-67-69 Hopefully this is the first step in getting even better.” “I absolutely backed myself 110 per cent. It’s one of the best shots I’ve hit of all time ... I couldn’t be happier.”

Matthew Fitzpatrick, of England, reacts after a putt on the 13th hole during the final round of the U.S. Open golf tournament at The Country Club in Brookline, ...

They were tied when Zalatoris made an 18-foot birdie putt on the short par-3 11th, and Fitzpatrick three-putted for bogey from the same range. But the fact that he pulled it off and even had a birdie look was just incredible. He is meticulous in charting his shots and keeps a record of all of them to identify what needs work. He also couldn’t keep the ball in the fairway, and it cost him with a dropped shot on No. 12. Zalatoris again bounced back, taking on a tough pin at the par-3 16th to 7 feet for birdie to cut the lead to one shot. He had a 25-foot birdie chance on the 18th that just missed and left him one behind with a 67. “Matt’s shot on 18 is going to be shown probably for the rest of U.S. Open history,” Zalatoris said. Fitzpatrick, who briefly played at Northwestern before turning pro, won for the eighth time worldwide, and this was his first in America — at least a tournament everyone knows about. Zalatoris missed by only a few yards and was buried in deep grass. Zalatoris, who closed with a 69, was a runner-up in the second straight major. He said, ‘Finally. Congratulations for winning in the States,’” Fitzpatrick said. He was just as clutch from a fairway bunker on the 18th that set up par for a 2-under 68.

The US Open trophy · A massive payday · A 10-year exemption · More exemptions · World ranking points · FedEx Cup points · Senior exemptions · PGA Tour membership.

That could be absolutely crucial, with more millions to be won at the end of the season. It might be a way off, but Fitzpatrick already has his first guaranteed starts on the senior circuit. In line with the other majors, winning one gets you a five-year exemption to each of the others.

After 30-plus years of caddieing for a number of world-class players, Billy Foster finally got his major alongside Matt Fitzpatrick.

It was not to be that day, and "not to be that day" is something Foster has gotten a little too used to on Sundays at majors over the years. "I'll start with a beer in the caddie shack," Foster said while standing in the 18th fairway. ""It was sort of like, behind a steep lip, so he couldn't go at the flag,” Foster said, “but he could just go to the left edge of the green. "The disappointing thing about the PGA was that it was there to win. And he sort of plum-bobbed the ball at a tree at the back of the green that was probably like three or four yards inside the left edge of the green. "I have the monkey off my back, but it feels more like a gorilla." He obviously won the amateur here, I just thought there was every chance he could compete again, and sure enough he did." It's one of those where if you hit the fairway, you know it's going to be a 9-iron." Foster was on the bag of Lee Westwood for 10 years, a relationship that featured nine top-three finishes in majors, including three runners-up. "Today we said if you drive it straight down the middle [with a driver] it's going to run out into the rough—just hit the 3-wood. An 18th hole Fitzpatrick collapse would have ranked right up there on the sick-to-the-stomach list, another unfortunate what-if in a caddieing career full of them. On the 72nd tee, where Matt Fitzpatrick (the boss man) arrived with a one-shot lead over Will Zalatoris and Scottie Scheffler, who was already in the clubhouse at five under, Foster and Fitzpatrick decided on 3-wood.

BROOKLINE, Mass. – For a guy who's won seven times on the DP World Tour, Matt Fitzpatrick sure has gotten an earful here in the states.

“I hope many 7 overs aren’t coming in the future, but it just kind of made me refocus and kind of just get back into things,” Morikawa said. “It’s one of the best shots I ever hit, there’s no doubt about it,” he said. He’s made a steady rise each year and Sunday’s victory moved him to 10th in the Official World Golf Ranking, the first time he’s cracked the top 10. He made a birdie on the 17th and just missed from 23 feet on the 18th to wind up one shot short. I don’t know if you guys noticed, but I feel like he has made some extreme improvements off the tee in a matter of months.” “The game’s there. It was another heartbreaking ending for Zalatoris, who lost in a playoff to Justin Thomas in the PGA Championship last month. I thought I played great all week, especially getting off to the start that I did today. Juli Inkster is the only player to win the U.S. Women’s Amateur and U.S. Women’s Open on the same course (Prairie Dunes, 1980, 2002). It is so cliché, but it’s stuff you dream of as a kid,” Fitzpatrick said. But Zalatoris’ effort missed by a hair and Fitzpatrick sunk into the embrace of his caddie, legendary Billy Foster. He was left to stand to stand off to the side of the green as Zalatoris lined up a birdie putt from 14 feet that would have forced a playoff.

BROOKLINE, Mass. — Matt Fitzpatrick is a major champion, winning the U.S. Open with a legendary ball-striking performance—and doing it at The Country Club, ...

Nick Dunlap, the reigning U.S. Junior Amateur champion, had a logo on his right sleeve and a different one on the right side of his hat. I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he’s not bald, he’s just got a higher and tighter haircut than 99 percent of humans on this planet. He debated not even trying to qualify for the U.S. Open because, he told The Athletic, “If I qualify, I’m just signing up to get my ass kicked.” Back in November, he told me: “Look, I’m not selling a single ticket. Perks. I managed to snap a photo of this guy, and some pointed out the irony of a bald guy giving haircuts. The USGA’s offering functioned better than the PGA of America’s, for sure, and was just a hair behind the PGA Tour’s in terms of performance. That alone doesn’t make it a terrible hole—almost no one lays up on the par-4 10th at Riviera, for example—but the reason for it does: there was just no trouble up by the green. He got there in the time, the crowd loved it, and he thanked the crowd for appreciating his stunning display of athleticism. There’s no easy way to get over it … except, and it’s a big except, for the way he putted on Sunday. Zalatoris’ stroke has been an easy target; at times, on the short ones, it downright difficult to watch. This week, however, the outrage reached an all–time high—so much so that Mike Whan, CEO of the USGA, responded on Twitter to assure fans that his organization is listening and working with broadcast partners to address the problem. But he putted beautifully throughout the week, and he is genuinely one of the better mid-range putters on the PGA Tour. How solid he looked on the shorties on Sunday should go a long way toward his confidence moving forward, for if he continues that work with the flatstick, he is a top-five player in the world. BROOKLINE, Mass. — Matt Fitzpatrick is a major champion, winning the U.S. Open with a legendary ball-striking performance—and doing it at The Country Club, where it all started. He had that at the 2021 Masters. When you get beat by a guy playing perfect golf, as he did in the playoff to Justin Thomas at last month’s PGA Championship, you can rest easy at night.
