Women's Open Purse Doubles to $11 Million
Historic Purse Increase and Groundbreaking Venue Highlight LPGA's Commitment to Women's Golf
Groundbreaking Payout at Iconic Pebble Beach Course
In a landmark move, the Women's Open purse has doubled over the past two years, rising to a record-breaking $11 million. This significant increase positions the Women's Open as the highest-paying women's golf tournament in history.
The tournament, which will be held at the iconic Pebble Beach Golf Links for the first time, will see the winner receive a substantial $2 million prize, a $200,000 increase from previous years. This unprecedented payout underscores the LPGA's unwavering commitment to empowering women's golf and recognizing the exceptional talent and athleticism of its players.
The Women's Open purse has seen a steady rise in recent years, with the 2023 edition marking a remarkable milestone. Just two weeks ago, Celine Boutier took home $1 million for her victory at the Amundi Evian Championship, highlighting the growing momentum behind women's professional golf.
The 2023 US Women's Open prize money payout, totaling $11 million, will be distributed among the 70 professional players who complete four rounds at the demanding Pebble Beach course. This substantial prize structure will not only impact the lives of individual players but also inspire a new generation of golfers to pursue their dreams in the sport.
