Minjee Lee earned a big payday with her win in the 2022 US Women's Open.

Lee set a 72-hole record with a 13-under-par 271 total over four days at Pine Needles to earn $1.8 million, the largest payout in women's golf history.

She beat the previous U.S. Women's Open record-low score of 272, held by three players including Annika Sorenstam (1996 at Pine Needles), Juli Inkster (1999 at Old Waverly) and In Gee Chun (2015 at Lancaster).

When Sorenstam won in 1996, the overall purse was $1 million.

On Saturday morning, the USGA released the overall prize money payout breakdown for the golfers who made the cut this week. The 61 players who missed the cut get $8,000, but amateur golfers receive no prize money.
