The largest purse in U.S. Women’s Open history will be awarded Sunday.
The 63 professionals who made the cut at Riviera Country Club will battle for a purse of $12.5 million, though those who missed the weekend didn’t go home empty handed. Every pro who missed the cut received $10,000.
The winner on Sunday will take home $2.5 million. Five amateurs also made the cut, but they are not eligible to receive prize money. Last year, the purse was $12 million with $2.4 million going to the winner.
Here’s the breakdown of how much money each LPGA player earned at the 2026 U.S. Women’s Open.
