The U.S. Women’s Open purse has doubled over the past two years, rising to $11 million, and is now the biggest purse women’s golf.
The winner this week, Allisen Corpuz, received $2 million, which matches the largest winner’s check in the women’s game. Lydia Ko won $2 million at last year’s CME Group Tour Championship.
For perspective, consider that the total purse for next week’s Dana Open is $1,750,000.
How will Corpuz spend that big check?
“I might upgrade quite a few flights, but nothing yet,” she said. “I just bought a car in January, so I think that was my big purchase for the year.”
The top 20 places on the money list this week earned six-figure checks, season-changing money for many in the field.
Players who missed the cut this week were given $8,000 to cover expenses.
