The biggest event in women’s golf now has the prize money to match. And the U.S. Women’s Open is also headed to major courses. The USGA has announced a $10 million purse for this year’s U.S. Women’s Open. That’s nearly double what it was last year. The prize money will go up to $12 million over the next five years. Helping to foot the bill is a presenting sponsor in Ohio-based ProMedica. Future courses include Riviera, Merion and Oakland Hills. The USGA also says Pinehurst No. 2 will host the U.S. Open and Women’s Open in successive weeks in 2029.
