Scottie Scheffler reaches 20 career wins
The 125th U.S. Open heads to the Keystone State, with historic Oakmont Country Club hosting for a record 10th time. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, coming off a win at the Memorial presented by Workday, is looking for his second major triumph of the year after earning the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow. Rory McIlroy captured the first major of the season, winning the Masters Tournament to complete the career Grand Slam.
The 2024 purse was a record $21.5 million, the highest among golf’s major championships, with the winner earning $4.3 million. The winner will also take 750 FedExCup points if eligible.
"Our purse is $21.5 million. Winner's check is 4.3," said Michael Whan, CEO of the USGA. "We didn't raise our purse this year. When I started at the USGA just four years ago, our purse was 12.5, so I feel comfortable that we've been a leader in moving fast and bigger."
