The first women’s Major of the year takes place with the Chevron Championship at The Club at Carlton Woods in Texas.
There are several attractive perks of winning the title, one of which is the huge prize money on offer. For the first time, the winner will claim a seven-figure sum thanks to a record prize fund $7.9m, an increase of $1.8m on last year’s $5.1m.
That’s the latest in a trend of increasing payouts for the tournament, ever since Chevron became involved in 2021. Back then, the overall purse was $3.1m.
The latest increase means the winner will receive $1.185m. It’s not just players who make the cut who will benefit from some financial reward, either. Those missing out on the weekend will each be paid $10,000, double the amount they were paid in 2023.
While the money on offer this week is still significantly less than the record $12 million that was available at last year’s US Women’s Open at Pebble Beach, it is another sign of the increasing strength of the women’s game.
Aside from the prize money, other incentives include 650 Race To CME Globe points for the winner and 100 world ranking points.
Below is the prize money payout for the Chevron Championship.
