The 2026 U.S. Open purse is on par with that of the Masters.
On Wednesday, United States Golf Association CEO Mike Whan announced the purse for the 126th edition of the U.S. Open will be USD 22.5 million, an increase of USD 1 million from last year.
The winner of this week’s event at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, N.Y. will pocket $4.5 million, also matching the first-place prize this year at Augusta National. Rory McIlroy successfully defended his Masters title in April and claimed his sixth major title.
JJ Spaun took home USD 4.3 million (approximately 405 million INR) for winning last year’s U.S. Open.
The PGA Championship increased this year’s purse to USD 20.5 million (one billion INR), with USD 3.69 million (approximately 34 crore INR) going to first-time major champion Aaron Rai.
The Open Championship’s purse was USD 17 million last year, with Scottie Scheffler taking home USD 3.1 million.
