It is worth knowing that the U.S. Open is one of the most lucrative golf tournaments in the world. It is nowhere near the mammoth $46 million prize pool given by the Tour Championship, but the U.S. Open awards the third highest prize money among every other tournament.
The total prize money of the U.S Open remains unchanged from 2020. The USGA awarded $12.5 million to the field last year, and the same will happen this year as well.
