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.

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.
