The purse payout for the 2024 US Open was the 2nd largest for a standalone event of all time. Bryson pocketed a whopping $4.3M for besting Rory, who finished one stroke back. Missing the shorties on 16 and 18 likely cost Rory a cool $2M, who flew home with his “team” heavy-hearted in his custom private jet. The top four finishers all banked at least a cool million greenbacks. Tony Finau and Patrick Cantlay finished T-3 and each won $1.23M, which is roughly the same amount a tour player takes home for winning a non-Signature or major event. It pays to be great at golf.
Key Takeaways:
- Round 4 played the easiest of the four rounds at Pinehurst with the player average coming in just under 2-over par for the day (71.81). Like Finau who finished ahead of him, Russell Henley beat the average score Sunday by 5 shots to finish T-7, banking $639k. Had he shot the day’s average, he would have finished T-19 and would have taken home $250k. That’s a nice bump for finishing on fire Sunday.
- At one point on Saturday, Swedish sensation Ludvig Aberg was in sole position of 1st place playing like the prodigious boss he is. But he limped home from there, finishing T-12 and made a modest (?!?) $400k. Finishing Top 15 in your first US Open is nothing to be ashamed of, but surely he’s already thought through what could have been – not only how emotionally charged it would have been to lift the winner’s trophy on 18 Sunday evening, but also what it would have felt like to cash a $4.3M check. The difference between Cha-Ching and Cha-Cha-Cha-Cha-Cha-Cha…
- Mad Man Tyrrel Hatton signed for a 7-over 77 on Sunday, the worst score shot by any player who finished T-50 or better. Had he shot even par, he would have made $500k more than the $153k he did. It’s a good thing he jumped to LIV, otherwise he would only be rich.
