Through the Golf Post Live Blog you can follow all results on the PGA Tour live. Alongside the DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour), the PGA Tour is the world’s largest tournament series in men’s professional golf. The tour attracts prize money that is just as high as the level of the international elite that comes together at quite a few of the tournaments. The annual highlights of the season are the four major tournaments (co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour), the Players Championship and the final FedExCup playoffs, which conclude the season every year. Signature events were created for this purpose. These include the three FedExCup playoff tournaments, The Sentry, the invitational tournaments (Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational and Memorial Tournament) and four other tournaments, which can change annually.

The PGA Tour has gained its importance primarily through its ability to retain top players through the attractiveness of the tournaments and the size of the prize money, which has risen steadily in recent years. The FedExCup is the American equivalent of the European Race to Dubai, with players collecting points throughout the season until the FedExCup winner is crowned in three tournaments in August. The FedExCup playoffs consist of three tournaments: the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the BMW Championship and the final Tour Championship. The winner of the Tour Championship also becomes the winner of the FedEx Cup and secures the record jackpot of 25 million US dollars.

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.
