US Open Golf Purse 2023: Prize Money Payout for Top Players on Final Leaderboard

Staring down a putt to seal his first Major victory, Wyndham Clark kept his cool.

The golfer sunk the putt to secure a one-stroke victory over Rory McIlroy and take home the U.S. Open Trophy. This comes just about a month after he earned his first PGA Tournament victory at the Wells Fargo Championship.

Clark took home $3.5 million for the victory, but he wasn’t the only person who was flush with cash from the weekend.

Let’s take a look at how the prize-money payout looks for the final leaderboard.

Clark shot even par in Round Four to clinch the title with a total score of -10. McIlroy also shot even par on the day, but a tough break on the 14th hole hurt his chances to overtake Clarke and left him stuck at -9. Still, the Irishman’s recent play has many, including himself, believing he is knocking on the door of a championship.

Scottie Scheffler finished in third place with an overall score of -7, and great days from Cam Smith and Tommy Fleetwood helped them grab fourth and fifth place respectively. Fleetwood’s final day was spectacular, as he was -7 and even made some history.

Beyond just the spectacle of the event at Los Angeles Country Club, a lot of money was on the line. The tournament had a record purse of $20 million, which was a $2.5 million increase from 2022’s tournament.
