Okay, so I’ve been digging into this whole 2024 US Senior Open payout thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a ride. I started out just curious, you know, how much do these guys actually make? So I started poking around, just googling stuff like “2024 US Senior Open payout” and things like that.
First, I found some stuff saying the total purse is gonna be $4 million. That’s a lot of dough, right? Then I saw somewhere else that the winner was supposed to get $720,000, but another place said it would be around $800,000. So, there’s some conflicting info out there, but either way the winner isn’t doing too bad for themselves!
- Total purse: $4 million
- Winner’s share (conflicting reports): $720,000 or $800,000
Delving into Details
I kept digging because I wanted to know more than just the top prize. I stumbled upon a mention of the Leo Fraser Trophy, which is apparently named after the 16th president of the PGA of America. I even found something about the US Senior Women’s Open, saying their purse is at least $1 million, with the winner getting at least $180,000. It’s apparently not the standard 15% payout they usually do. Kind of interesting, right?
Then I found this one site saying the winner’s share this season is supposed to be $447,800, and the runner-up gets $298,000. So, it seems like the numbers are all over the place, depending on where you look.
It took a while, piecing all this together, but I think I got a decent idea of what’s going on. Basically, there’s a good chunk of change up for grabs at the US Senior Open. The winner’s definitely walking away happy, but even the runner-up is making some serious bank. It is kind of a mess trying to find the exact numbers, but hey, that’s how it goes sometimes. I just wanted to share what I found because I thought it was pretty interesting, hope you guys did too!
