The 2018 US Open purse is set for $12 million, which is the same purse as 2017 and the richest in golf, with the winner’s share coming in at $2,160,000 — which is 18 percent payout, similar to the standard payout according to the PGA Tour’s prize money distribution chart.
The US Open field was headed by the world top 50, including Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Justin Rose, Rory McIlroy and more. However, just 64 professional players (and three amateurs, who aren’t paid) made the 36-hole cut, so they USGA divides up the purse accordingly. Those professionals who miss the cut earn $10,000 each for their two-round effort.
The event is played this year at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, N.Y., marking the fifth time the US Open has been played at this venue.
