The official name of the organization is PGA European Tour and the DP World Tour is headquartered at the Wentworth Club in Virgina Water, England.

Prize Money, Title Contenders and More: All Details for the US Open Golf 2024

All golf fans can look forward to another upcoming highlight. From June 13 to 16, the 2024 US Open will take place. Following the Masters Tournament and the PGA Championship, it is the third major of the year. But how does this prestigious golf event stand? Here is a brief overview of the prize money the pros can expect, where the golf US Open will be held this year, and which players have the best chances of winning.

US Open 2024 Back in Pinehurst

The venue for this year’s US Open may seem familiar to golf enthusiasts. The Pinehurst Resort & C.C. (Course No. 2) in Pinehurst, North Carolina, is one of the most well-known courses in the USA. Now the US Open returns to the prestigious course after it was last held there in 2014. The par-72 course is a total of 7,588 yards long. The prize money for the tournament will be announced during the tournament week, although last year’s winner, Wyndham Clark, enjoyed a prize share of $3.6 million. Due to its particularly challenging tee shots, the Pinehurst course is feared by many players and is considered one of the more difficult courses on the tour.

Participants and Favorites: Who Has the Best Chances of Winning?

The most renowned faces participating in the 2024 US Open are also the top contenders for the overall victory. World number one Scottie Scheffler arrives in North Carolina with the best odds of winning and a fresh win at the Memorial Tournament. According to betting odds, Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Brooks Koepka, and Jon Rahm are also strong contenders for the major tournament title. Altough the Rahm had to withdraw from the Houston LIV Golf event due to an injury on his foot.

Scottie Scheffler has been delivering consistent performances on the tour for some time now and won the first major of the year, the Masters Tournament. He finished tied for 8th in the second major, the PGA Championship. Last year, he placed third at the US Open. For defending champion Wyndham Clark, the chances of winning seem somewhat lower – at least based on his current form. Although the American has managed some good finishes this year, he has recently struggled also missing the cut in both majors.

Similarly, LIV Golf players Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm have shown good performances on their tour, but did not achieve notable placements in the US Masters and the PGA Championship. Rory McIlroy‘s prospects look more promising. He finished second in last year’s US Open and is currently in stable form. American Xander Schauffele‘s form is also on the rise. Schauffele won the PGA Championship in May.

PGA Tour Pro Michael Kim Publishes Fineable Tour Offenses on X

While Michael S. Kim is hardly known on the PGA Tour, the tour pro now has almost 120,000 followers on X (Twitter). The reason for this comparatively high figure is his informative and entertaining posts on the platform. He is currently attracting attention with the publication of fineable offenses on the tour.

PGA Tour: Michael Kim offers insight into fineable Tour offenses

Michael S. Kim celebrated the only major success of his professional golf career to date with a victory at the 2018 John Deere Classic on the PGA Tour. It is therefore not surprising that the tour pro, who has played on the Korn Ferry Tour in the meantime, has not achieved any extraordinary fame with his sporting achievements. On X (Twitter), however, Kim’s number of followers is constantly growing: Almost 120,000 accounts now follow the US American’s informative and entertaining posts on the platform, where he reports on his everyday life as a professional golfer. Kim is currently causing a stir with his publication of fineable offenses on the PGA Tour, including slow play and vulgar terms. The 30-year-old thus provides an insight into the little-known details of how and why the PGA Tour punishes its players.

According to Michael Kim, the PGA Tour penalizes slow play particularly severely: A player who is in a flight that is issued a penalty for slow play ten times will receive a fine of 50,000 US dollars. Each additional warning adds 5,000 US dollars. This happens more often than is known, but no player talks about it for fear of negative reactions from the public. According to Kim, the fine is even to be doubled next year. Other fines include vulgar language and swearing on live television, unclean handling of the pitch (raking the bunker and repairing uneven surfaces) and inappropriate behavior towards volunteers. There was a particularly curious case of a fine on the Korn Ferry Tour: There, players allegedly left water on a tree due to a lack of toilets, whereupon a local resident complained. According to Kim, however, all proceeds from fines are used by the PGA Tour for charitable purposes, reason enough for him to “maybe [use] more slow play.”
