LPGA Tour sets another record with $127.5M in prize money for 2025

The LPGA Tour will play for $127.5 million in official prize money in 2025, another record for the circuit that has worked independently of the PGA Tour for 75 years. The schedule announced Wednesday at the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship in Naples, Florida, has a few moving parts that include new tournaments in Utah and Mexico, the end of a 40-year run in Ohio and its Founders Cup merging into a previous tournament. The official prize money does not include the $2 million International Crown, held every two years as the only team event in golf where countries compete against each other; and the $2 million Grant Thornton Invitational, a mixed team event with the PGA Tour. “The best women in the world need to make a living that matches their level of excellence, and we’re fighting every day to achieve that goal.” The prize money has increased nearly 90% in four years, led by the majors and CME Group boosting purses at the biggest events.
