The 2024 US Senior Open prize money payout is from the $4 million purse, with 71 professional players who complete four rounds at Newport Country Club in Newport, Rhode Island, earning PGA Tour Champions prize money and an official-money paycheck this week.

The winner's share of US Senior Open prize pool is at $800,000, with the second-place finisher taking home $432,000. The US Senior Open prize money payout breakdown shows a payout of 15 percent of the purse to the winner, and how much each PGA Tour Champions player earns is guaranteed down to the last-place professional player.

The US Senior Open field is headed by Steve Stricker, Padraig Harrington, Richard Bland and more.

This tournament started with 156 players, and a cut was made this week after two rounds to the top 60 players and ties. Every professional player in the field is paid for completing the event, but how much each player is paid at the 2024 US Senior Open from the correct 2024 US Senior Open full-field payout is based on their finish.

Every player still in the field can improve their position in the final round of this 72-hole event on the PGA Tour Champions schedule.

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 get 800,000 Charles Schwab Cup points, as this is considered an official event on the PGA Tour Champions schedule with dollars converted to points.

There are no Official World Golf Ranking points on the line in PGA Tour Champions events.

While this event offers a significant payday, a win comes with the benefits that come with winning on the PGA Tour Champions. Winners of these events get better status and access on tour.
