After last week’s inaugural Ford Championship in Arizona, the LPGA Tour heads to Nevada for the T-Mobile Match Play Presented By MGM Rewards (formerly the Bank Of Hope LPGA Match Play).
This week’s event takes place at the course with the world’s most expensive green fee, Shadow Creek Golf Club, where 96 players will compete for a prize money payout of $2m.
The event has a revised format in 2024. As well as the field increasing in size by 32, for the first time it combines stroke play and match play.
The stroke play element of the tournament takes place between Wednesday and Friday, with the top 65 players and ties making the 36-hole cut. After the third round of stroke play, the top eight players will advance to the match play competition taking place over the weekend, concluding on Sunday with the championship match.
This year’s prize money payout is $500,000 more than in 2023. On that occasion, Pajaree Anannarukarn completed a 3&1 victory over Ayaka Furue to earn $225,000.
However, thanks to the increased purse for the 2024 edition, this year’s winner will earn $300,000 as well as 500 Race to the CME Globe points.
