From this purse of $5 million, the winner, Patty Tavatanakit, will acquire $750,000. The runner-up, Esther Henseleit, will also be getting a huge chunk, claiming $450,000.

That attractive purse is also the highest outside the Majors and LPGA Tour’s CME Group Tour Championship, and that’s something LET CEO Alexandra Armas believes is important in inspiring more people to take up the game.
The 2024 event will mark the fifth iteration of the event. But in its short history, it has attracted many prominent names. Unfortunately, last year’s winner, Lydia Ko, did not take part this year. Still, the tournament saw many prominent names take part.
