After a stop in Malaysia for the Maybank Championship, the LPGA Tour remains in the Far East for the final leg of the Asian swing, the Toto Japan Classic at Seta Golf Club.
The Toto Japan Classic is a limited-field, no-cut event, with just 78 players competing for a share of a $2m purse. That’s an identical sum to the 2023 tournament, where local star Mone Inami took the title to claim a first prize of $300,000.Â
This week’s winner will claim an identical sum while the runner-up is set for a payout of $188,651. The purse is also double the amount available at this week’s other big women’s golf tournament – the Aramco Team Series Riyadh.
As well as the money on offer, players are trying to claim as many Race to CME Globe points as they can to qualify for the season finale, the CME Group Tour Championship.Â
That event will only be open to those who finish in the top 60 of the Race to CME Globe standings, and with just two regular events after this week, players in and around the position need to ensure they get points on the board to give themselves the best possible chance. Whoever wins the event will earn 500 points.
Below is the prize money payout for the Toto Japan Classic.
