The LPGA Tour season concludes with the CME Group Tour Championship at Tiburon Golf Club in Florida.
The event is open to the top 60 in the Race to CME Globe standings following the Annika Driven by Gainbridge at Pelican.
There is a huge amount at stake for the competitors, not least one of the largest purses in the history of the women’s game.
In 2023, players competed for $7m, but this year it increases to $11m. That’s just $1m less than the record purse set by this year’s US Women’s Open. However, while the Major offered $2.4m to the winner, the player who lifts the trophy this week will earn a record $4m, with the runner-up taking home $1m.
The 72-hole, no-cut event will also ensure that every member of the field receives some payment, with $55,000 on offer even to the player who finishes at the foot of the leaderboard on Sunday evening.
The Race to CME Globe winner will also be decided by Sunday evening. Even though Nelly Korda holds a huge lead at the top of the standings, every member of the field can still win the Race to the CME Globe because that honor goes to the CME Group Tour Championship winner.
There are other prizes to be determined too, including the Rookie of the Year award and the recipient of the Vare Trophy, which is awarded to the player with the lowest scoring average at the end of the season.
Below is the prize money payout for the CME Group Tour Championship.
