For its 124th edition, one of golf's most important competitions, the United States Open Championship, will return to its iconic venue, Pinehurst Resort and Country Club's Course No. 2. The greatest golfers in the world will converge on this iconic location, which is recognised as a "major" championship along with the Masters Tournament, PGA Championship, and The Open Championship, from June 13–16, 2024.

U.S. Open Prize Money
The winner's share of the $12 million purse in the 2017 US Open was $2.16 million. The official prize money utilised in the Race to Dubai is determined by the European Tour using conversion rates in effect at the time of the competition.
Like the other majors, a golfer who wins the US Open receives several benefits that, if he isn't already among the sport's finest players, extensively safeguard his career. For the next five years, winners of the US Open receive automatic invitations to compete in the other three majors. In addition, they will receive an automatic invitation to participate in The Players Championship for five years, and they will not be required to qualify for the US Open for ten years.
Additionally, winners may be eligible for a five-year PGA Tour exemption, granted automatically to ordinary members. When a non-member of the PGA Tour wins the US Open, they can choose to sign with the tour within 60 days of the victory or before the start of any of the following five seasons.
Lastly, upon turning 50, champions of the US Open are automatically invited to three of the five senior majors: the Senior PGA Championship, the Senior British Open, and the US Senior Open. Their invites are valid for five years each.
The top four players of the US Open automatically receive invitations to the Masters the following season. In contrast, the top ten finishers are entirely exempt from having to qualify for the following year's Open.
