It’s been a banner year for prize money in LPGA majors.
Jennifer Kupcho earned $750,000 for winning the first LPGA major of 2022, the Chevron Championship, the only major first-place prize that did not exceed $1 million this season.
Minjee Lee won the 77th US Women’s Open to claim the biggest prize, banking $1.8 million for her dominating performance at Pine Needles Golf & Country Club in Southern Pines, North Carolina. Even runner-up Mina Harigae took home seven figures.
In Gee Chun, runner-up at the AIG Women’s British Open, pocketed $1,350,000 for winning the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
At the Amundi Evian Championship, Brooke Henderson made $1 million for winning her second career major. She won $525,000 when she won her first major six years ago.
South Africa’s Ashleigh Buhai claimed the first-place prize of $1,095,000 after becoming the first woman to win a professional title at historic Muirfield. The 33-year-old has now earned $3,503,926 on the LPGA over the course of her 12-year career.
Take a look at the complete money list from the 2022 AIG Women’s British Open.
