2022 US Open Portfolio Prize Money: Payout to Matt Fitzpatrick, each golfer out of the record $17.5 million total

Money talks – as always in the world of golf – and the USGA had a lot of talk this week when CEO Mike Wan on Wednesday announced a significant increase in the 2022 US Open portfolio. It will pay the US Open, which is growing by $5 million On an annual basis, $17.5 million for those who made the weekend cut. This is the largest official wallet in the history of the major leagues.

Capitalizing on this high money, Matt Fitzpatrick won the US Open by one stroke over Will Xalatores and Scotty Scheffler. By doing so, Fitzpatrick earned $3.15 million in the winner’s share, nearly $500,000 more than the Masters and PGA Championships were paid to respective champions Scottie Scheffler and Justin Thomas ($2.7 million) as part of their $15 million portfolios.

2021 US Open Champion John Ramm earned $2.25 million, so the annual increase from the USGA is $900,000. However, the first place prize wasn’t the biggest paid out this year, with Cameron Smith already taking home a record $3.6 million for winning The Players Championship in March.

Not only did the increased US Open prize money welcome the news of those who competed for the national championship, but even those in the top 20 are set to take home a hefty sum. All top 20 winners receive $200,000 for their trouble dealing with The Country Club in Brooklyn, Massachusetts.
