LIV Golf defectors face an awkward reunion with their PGA Tour loyal rivals in one of the biggest tournaments on the sporting calendar.

As well as glory and prestige, there's a healthy prize money pot available for players to win, not that some of the competitors are in desperate need of a top-up following their exploits in the Saudi Arabia-backed breakaway league.

Exact figures are yet to be confirmed, but the winner of the US Open can comfortably expect to rake in around $2.2million, with a $12.5million total prize money offering to be split out among the field.
