The biggest payday in women’s golf history is up for grabs this week in Naples, Florida.
A whopping $4 million will go to the winner of the CME Group Tour Championship at Tiburon Golf Club – nearly as much as world No. 1 Nelly Korda has earned all year from her incredible seven-win season.
The total prize purse? An eye-popping $11 million.
What makes this season finale really interesting is how different it is from the men’s tour. All 60 players start from zero, giving everyone – from Korda to the last qualifier – an equal shot at life-changing money.
Think about that for a second: One great week could earn a player nearly as much as Korda’s made from dominating the entire season.
The field is stacked with the LPGA’s biggest stars. Lydia Ko is back to defend her title. Major champions Lilia Vu and Celine Boutier are hunting another big win. And rookie sensation Rose Zhang could cap off her first pro season with the biggest payday in women’s golf history.
They’ve all earned their spot through a season-long points race, with Korda leading the way after her win last week at The Annika.
The tournament brings together a truly global field – players from Asia, Europe, Australia, and the Americas, all chasing that record prize.
For some perspective: The winner’s check is bigger than most LPGA players earn in several years combined. It’s the kind of money that could set up a player for life – all riding on four days of golf.
The action kicks off Thursday with all eyes on that $4 million prize.
