How LPGA Prize Money Is Distributed
Tournaments set a total purse, and the LPGA distributes funds to finishers based on a payout schedule. Top finishers earn more, while players who make the cut receive a smaller share. Additional income can come from sponsorships, appearance fees, and off-course endorsements.
