The 45th edition of the US Senior Open takes place at The Broadmoor Golf Club this week and, with a field stacked with ex-PGA Tour stars, it is definitely one to keep an eye on.
Defending champion and LIV golfer Richard Bland won't be in Colorado to defend his title, due to a clash of events, with the Englishman having an obligation to stick to LIV's schedule and play in Dallas.
In terms of the prize money payout, it remains the same as it was for last year's championship, which is $4m.
The champion will earn more than the regular 15% winner's cut, which is set at $800,000, as second and third place respectively earn $432,000 and $255,061.
This is the highest purse on the PGA Tour Champions this season and, alongside the monetary benefits of winning the US Senior Open, all money earned this week counts towards the Charles Schwab Cup points list.
Here's the full breakdown of the payout for the 2025 Senior US Open:

Which Big Names Are Competing At The 2025 US Senior Open?
Richard Bland will not be back to defend his title due to his schedule clashing with LIV Dallas, where his contractual priorities lie.
However, other defending champions will be at The Broadmoor Golf Club this week, such as the likes of 2018 champion David Toms and Padraig Harrington, who won in 2022.
Other greats of the game, such as Vijay Singh and Ernie Els will also be teeing it up this week and, to round it off, there is a magnitude of ex-European Ryder Cup captains playing, such as Darren Clarke and Thomas Bjorn.
Where Is The 2025 US Senior Open?
The Broadmoor Golf Club located in Colorado Springs will be hosting this year's US Senior Open.
Marked out at 7,247 yards, the par-70 course will play host to 72-holes of golf, rather than 54-holes, which is the usual amount on regular PGA Tour Champions events.
The championship will take place on the East Course which is nestled on the southern edge of the Rocky Mountains. At an elevation of more than 6,300 feet, finding your yardages will be the key to success.
