There was some serious money on the line at the 2026 U.S. Senior Open. The total prize fund at Scioto Countr Club was $4 million with the winner is taking home $800,000.
There was also some history at Scioto, as Padraig Harrington became just the third golfer to win the U.S. Senior Open in consecutive seasons, joining a short list with Gary Player and Allen Doyle. It's also Harrington's third overall U.S. Senior title, as he won it in 2022 as well. This is his fourth senior major, as he also won the 2025 Senior Open crown, and it's his 12th PGA Tour Champions title.
Finally, Harrington surpasses the $10 million mark on the Champions circuit, as he's now earned $10,471,366 in 73 starts.
In addition, the 79 professional golfers who failed to make the cut were issued a $4,000 stipend.
The U.S. Senior Open is one of 15 championships staged by the U.S. Golf Association every year.
