The purse for the US Women's Open has more than doubled in the last two years, reaching $11 million, making it the largest payout in women's golf. Allisen Corpuz, this week's winner, got $2 million, matching the largest winner's check in the women's game. Lydia Ko earned $2 million at the CME Group Tour Championship last year.

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.
Allisen Corpuz, the 2023 U.S. Women's Open champion, speaks with the media following her historic victory at Pebble Beach Golf Links:
