2024 U.S. Women’s Open Prize Money Payout: Yuka Saso Wins $2.4 Million
The 2024 U.S. Women’s Open set a new standard for prize money in women’s golf, offering an unprecedented $12 million purse. Yuka Saso emerged victorious, capturing her second U.S. Women’s Open title and taking home a staggering $2.4 million in prize money. Remarkably, even golfers who missed the cut received a generous stipend of $10,000, showcasing the tournament’s commitment to supporting all participating professionals.
Saso’s triumph at the 2024 event marked her second U.S. Women’s Open victory, following her 2019 win at The Olympic Club, where she earned $1 million. The increased prize fund meant that this year’s runner-up, Hinako Shibuno, took home a larger sum than Saso’s 2019 winning purse, highlighting the significant growth in women’s golf.
