US Open 2025 payout: total purse, winner’s share and full prize money breakdown

Record US Open purse matches major championship high
The 2025 US Open purse totals $21.5 million, with the winner set to receive $4.3 million. This figure matches the highest first-place prize in major championship golf history. The final round will decide who claims the record-tying payout as contenders Sam Burns, Adam Scott, J.J. Spaun, and Viktor Hovland remain in contention at Oakmont.

Only four players enter Sunday’s, June 15, round under par. Burns leads at four under, followed closely by Scott and Spaun. Hovland, three shots back, is the highest-ranked player in the Official World Golf Ranking’s top 15 in the final group. Despite five PGA Tour wins, Burns has struggled to close in majors, including a final-round 80 at last year’s Open Championship.

The US Golf Association confirmed the runner-up will take home $2.322 million. Third place earns $1.459 million, while the fourth-place finisher collects $1.023 million. All players finishing in the top four receive at least $1 million.

Recent major winners have earned comparable payouts. Scottie Scheffler claimed $3.42 million at the 2025 PGA Championship, and Rory McIlroy received $4.2 million for his victory at the 2025 Masters.
