How much money each LPGA golfer earned at the CME Group Tour Championship
It’s the biggest payday on the LPGA.
The winner of the CME Group Tour Championship is walking away with $1.5 million, the largest prize in the history of women’s golf.
Jin Young Ko shot a final-round 63 to win the season-ending tournament to bank that huge first-place check. She went bogey-free with nine birdies on Sunday and hit an amazing 63 consecutive greens in regulation.
It’s her second straight year winning the event at Tiburón Golf Club at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort in Naples, Florida. Nasa Hataoka tried to give chase but came up a shot short. She’ll pocket $480,000 for her efforts. A tie for third this week is good for $268,657.
