A whopping $12.5 million purse will be distributed now that the 2020 U.S. Open is complete, nearly half of which ($5.5 million) will be divvied out to the top five finishers. The $12.5 million pool ties for the largest total purse for any of the major championships with the Open Championship, topping the PGA Championship and the Masters.

It's the same total purse as last year's U.S. Open, and the prize money for each slot remains the same, too.

After absolutely beasting on the Winged Foot course this week, Bryson DeChambeau not only captured his first major championship but the $2.25 million first-place prize that goes with it. Matthew Wolff picked up second place and $1.35 million, while Louis Oosthuizen ($830,466), Harris English ($582,175) and Xander Schauffele ($484,896) rounded out the top five.

Considering the scoring we have seen at the U.S. Open this year, what DeChambeau accomplished on Sunday by being the only golfer to finish under par in Round 4 was incredible. He finished six shots clear of the rest of the field en route to victory.

Let's take a look at how the prize money breaks down for the 2020 U.S. Open. If golfers tie for a place, they will split an average of the combined winnings of their respective spots on the leaderboard.
