The U.S. Open 2023: Purse, Prize Money, and Payout

In 2023, the U.S. Open will be hosted at Los Angeles Country Club for the first time ever.

First hosted in 1895 at Newport Country Club, this will be the 123rd edition of the tournament. For the first few years, the U.S. Open was dominated by British players until 1911, when John J. McDermott became the first American winner.

In 2022, the U.S. Open was the biggest purse of the four major championships. Currently, the 2023 purse is listed at $17.5 million but there is a good chance that the final payout will be higher than that number once the winner is crowned champion. The winner’s share is expected to be at least $3.15 million.
