Huge cheque for winners: this is how much prize money there was at the US Open 2025
J.J. Spaun won the biggest prize money of his career at the US Open 2025. But other golfers were also handsomely rewarded. The prize money overview.
Major tournaments in golf are first and foremost events of historic proportions, where fame and honor are at stake. But the prize money at the US Open 2025 is also impressive and will change the life of the winner just as much as the trophy. J.J. Spaun will receive an impressive 4.3 million dollars for his successful battle against the competition and the forces of nature at Oakmont Country Club. That's almost 20 percent of his total earnings (22.2 million dollars) on the PGA Tour. The total prize money at the US Open this year was 21.5 million dollars.
Robert MacIntyre and Viktor Hovland are probably still disappointed about their missed opportunity to win their first major. But second and third place still pay seven-figure sums and so the Scot and the Norwegian can at least console themselves with the fact that the US Open week was financially worthwhile.
