This 17th event of the 2023 LPGA Tour will have a 72-hole game with a cut to the top 65, and there will be ties after 36 holes.
The purse and prize money distribution
This championship has been in place since 1984. As compared to last year, there has been no change in the prize money this year. The event has a purse of $1.75 million, with the winner receiving around $262,500, which doesn’t meet the standard 15% percent payout as per LPGA Tour prize money distribution.
But other than the paycheck, the winner will also have other perks like 500 race to the CME Globe points and other added benefits as well, like a two-year exemption in the LPGA Tour and berths into other big tournaments.
