Maja Stark Cashes In With $2.4M U.S. Women’s Open Win
Swedish golf sensation Maja Stark walked away from the U.S. Women’s Open not only with her first major title—but also with a jaw-dropping $2.4 million prize. But what she did next had fans howling with laughter.
Her First Purchase? A New Apartment
While many expected the 24-year-old champion to celebrate with a sports car or private island, Stark had something much simpler in mind—moving out of her studio apartment.
“I’m finally going to get a real place,” she said with a laugh after her victory. “I’ve been in a studio for a while now, so I think it’s time.”
Fans Are Loving the Humility
Stark’s down-to-earth reaction quickly went viral. Social media lit up with comments praising her humility and humor.
“Imagine winning $2.4 million and the first thing you do is move out of a tiny apartment—Maja Stark is all of us!” one fan posted.
A Big Win for Women’s Golf
Stark’s prize is one of the largest payouts in women’s golf history, part of the sport’s push toward greater prize equity. Her victory, confidence, and candor have made her an instant favorite among fans—on and off the course.
From Humble Home to Global Headlines
While she may be leaving her studio behind, Stark’s future is anything but small. With her talent, charm, and now a major title under her belt, the golf world will be watching closely.
One thing’s for sure: this win is only the beginning.
