How much prize money does the winner get at the 2024 CME Group Tour Championship? LPGA Tour
As the 2024 LPGA Tour draws to a close at Tiburón Golf Club in Naples, Florida, there’s a tasty prize pot on offer.
The 2024 CME Group Tour Championship is setting a new benchmark in women’s golf with its substantial prize fund. This year, the tournament boasts an $11 million purse, with the winner taking home a record-breaking $4 million. This figure surpasses the previous highest winner’s share in women’s golf, which was $2 million at the 2023 U.S. Women’s Open.
LPGA pushes prize fund higher than ever
The runner-up isn’t left empty-handed either, quite the opposite in fact, receiving a cool $1 million. Even the player finishing last among the 60 competitors will pocket $55,000, ensuring that everyone leaves with a significant sum.
This increase in prize money reflects the growing recognition and investment in women’s sports. The LPGA’s commitment to elevating the game is evident in these figures, aiming to attract top talent and provide substantial rewards for their efforts.
