The 2023 US Women's Open prize money payout is from the $11 million purse, with 70 professional players who complete four rounds at Pebble Beach Golf Links in Pebble Beach, Calif., earning LPGA Tour prize money and an official-money paycheck this week.

The winner's share of US Women's Open prize pool is at $2,000,000, with the second-place finisher taking home $1,188,000. The US Women's Open prize money payout breakdown shows a payout of more than the standard 15 percent of the purse to the winner, and how much each LPGA Tour player earns is guaranteed down to the last-place professional player, who earns $20,312.

The US Women's Open field is headed by Allisen Corpuz, Charley Hull, Rose Zhang, Nasa Hataoka and more.

This tournament started with 156 players, and a cut was made this week after two rounds to the top 60 and ties. Every professional player who made the 36-hole cut is paid for the week, and all 74 players can improve in the final round.

Every professional player in the field is paid for completing the event, but how much each player is paid from the correct 2023 US Women's Open full-field payout is based on their finish. Four amateurs made the cut and will not be paid for their finish.

The LPGA Tour cut rule is down to the top 65 and ties, with no secondary cut, although this week is different. The payout is modified when more than 60 players make the cut to ensure all players are paid.

What else is on the line

Beyond money, there are important points, perks and benefits on the line for the field -- in particular, the tournament winner.

The winner of this event will earn 650 Race to the CME Globe points, leading the race after the first event of the season.

Additionally, there are 100 Rolex Women's World Golf Ranking points on the line for the winner.

While this event offers a significant payday, a win comes with the benefits that come with winning on the LPGA Tour. Winners of these events get a five-plus season exemption on the LPGA Tour, as well as berths into other big tour events.
