The U.S. Open has raised its prize money to $20 million, now tops among the major championships and on the same level as the PGA Tour's elevated events.
Prize money has become a focal point in recent years, even before Saudi-funded LIV Golf arrived with its $25 million purses . The PGA Tour responded with $20 million purses at 10 tournaments, with $25 million for The Players Championship.
"We understand that purses can be relative, and in order to be big we have to understand what else is going on in the world, and we do," he said. "We're not in a chase to be the biggest check, but we want to make sure that the money and the opportunity here, whether they're a tour player, college player, amateur, how they got here, that's still part of the bigness, and we believe it is.
The project is a campaign to raise money for the Maggie Hathaway Golf Course, built in the 1960s. The plan is to donate $15 million to give the public course a major makeover. Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner, who led the restoration at LACC, have offered their design services for free.
