LPGA players will compete for a record 131million US dollars (£103million) next season, Tour officials have announced.
The total prize fund for the Tour’s 75th season represents an increase of 13 million dollars (£10.2million) from 2024.
“The 2024 season was another year of historic growth for the LPGA Tour and, with this 2025 schedule, we will continue to improve on that growth,” LPGA Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan said.
“This schedule is highlighted by two exciting new events, a new multi-year title for the longest-running non-major tournament on the LPGA Tour, even higher purse sizes, increased benefits that will enhance the athlete experience, improved geographical flow and a longer off-season that will give our athletes a well-deserved rest after their tremendous work in 2024.”
