The United States Golf Association (USGA) has announced a record-breaking prize purse of $20 million for the 2023 U.S. Open golf tournament, which is taking place at Los Angeles Country Club from June 12-18. This represents a significant increase from the previous purse of $17.5 million in 2022.
The winner of the tournament will receive a share of $3.6 million, the largest payout in U.S. Open history. The total purse breakdown is as follows:
- Winner: $3.6 million
- Second place: $2.25 million
- Third place: $1.6 million
- Fourth place: $1.2 million
- Fifth place: $1 million
The increased prize purse reflects the growing popularity and prestige of the U.S. Open, which is one of the four major championships in professional golf. This year's tournament is particularly significant as it marks the first time the U.S. Open has been held in Los Angeles since 1948.
