U.S. Open purse, payouts: How much did Bryson DeChambeau earn after his win at Pinehurst?

Must read

He nearly watched it slip away, but Bryson DeChambeau is now a two-time U.S. Open champion.

DeChambeau, after losing a three-shot lead he built up to start the day, fended off Rory McIlroy to win the U.S. Open on Sunday afternoon at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina. The win marked his second career major title, and his first since he won the U.S. Open in 2020.

As a result, DeChambeau is taking home a massive $4.3 million check.

The U.S. Open offered a record $21.5 million purse this year, which marked the largest ever put up in a men’s major championship in history. That’s a $1.5 million increase from last season, and $1.5 million more than the Masters offered earlier this year.

By comparison, the $21.5 million purse is larger than all but one event on the PGA Tour this year. Only The Players Championship surpassed that mark when it had a $25 million prize pool in March. Scottie Scheffler earned $4.5 million for his win there. The PGA Championship offered an $18.5 million purse last month, which gave Xander Schauffele $3.3 million for his win.

While the top four finishers will all take home seven figures, everyone inside the top 10 this week at Pinehurst will earn at least $500,000. And, as an added bonus, those who missed the cut still earned $10,000.

Here’s a look at how much everyone at the U.S. Open earned this week in North Carolina.
