The LPGA completed its season this week and went out with a jackpot: an $11 million purse, with $4 million to the winner.
That first-place prize is the largest in LPGA history and just below the $4.5 million Yuka Saso won last summer at the U.S. Women's Open, which still holds the title of largest prize in women's golf.
The LPGA also announced this week that in 2025 the total purses would be boosted to $131 million over 33 official events, an increase of more than $14 million from 2024.
Jeeno Thitikul will take momentum into 2025 with a thrilling win at the season finale, as she finished eagle-birdie to top Angel Yin and win the $4 million.
