A historic moment unfolded at Pinehurst No. 2 as Bryson DeChambeau clinched a record-breaking $4.3 million prize from the $21.5 million purse of the U.S. Open, an event meticulously organized by the United States Golf Association.

DeChambeau’s victory edged out Rory McIlroy, who narrowly missed out on the top spot but took home a notable $2.32 million consolation prize in the fiercely contested championship.

Notably, 124th U.S. Open saw the second-highest winner’s payout of 2024, surpassed only by Scottie Scheffler‘s $4.5 million from a different tournament on the PGA Tour, further highlighting the prestige and financial rewards of elite golf competitions.

Among the top finishers were golfers like Mattieu Pavon, Hideki Matsuyama, Xander Schauffele, and Russell Henley, all claiming seven-figure sums while showcasing exceptional talent and skill on the course.

Even those occupying spots within the top 10 reaped substantial rewards, with payouts guaranteeing no less than $500,000, reinforcing the lucrative nature of professional golf tournaments today.
