In addition to his second US Open, American Bryson DeChambeau won this Sunday the largest financial prize at stake in the history of major golf tournaments. For this year, in line with the bullish cycle caused by the emergence of the LIV, the stock market once again reached a record. One and a half million dollars more than in 2023, 21.5 (about 20 euros) in total, were put into play.
Of those, 4.3 (just over four euros) will go to DeChambeau’s checking account. The other three players who accompanied him on the podium, the Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy, second, and his countrymen Tony Finau and Patrick Cantlay, third, also reach a seven-figure share: 2,322,000 (2.1 euros) the first and 1,445,062 (1.3) Finau and Cantlay.
As for the three Spaniards who competed in the event, namely Sergio García, David Puig and Eugenio Chacarra, their performances earned them 423,729 dollars (395,000 euros) in the case of Sergio, 12th; 45,632 (42,600 euros) in Puig, 55th; and 10,000 (9,300 euros) in Chacarra, which missed the cut.
