The Tanjong Course of Sentosa Golf Club of Singapore is hosting the Championship event. Unlike the regular Asian courses, the Tanjong Course has large bunkers, which increases the challenge for the golfers.
The purse money and other details about the tournament
The purse money of the HSBC Women’s World Championship of 2022 is $1.7 million. The winner of the championship would receive $255,000 according to the standard 15 percent payout according to the LPGA Tour’s prize money distribution chart. The caddie of the winner will also win 10%.
Since there is no cut after the first two rounds, all players would receive the prize money. It is a general rule in the LPGA Tour not to make cuts to the top 70 players. There are 66 players on the field this year.
The purse money has increased a little bit from last year since it was $1.6 million in 2021. Hyo Joo Kim won the winner’s share of $240,000 last year. She had won the tournament with an overall score of 17-under 271.
Patty Tavatanakit, Inbee Park, and Xiyu Lin got tied for a third-place, whereas Hannah Green secured the second position. The second place won $149,262 of the purse money, and each third prize winner bagged $86,487.

The points will help them get into the top 60 that qualify for the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship. Apart from the race points, the winner will also receive a two-year exemption on the LPGA Tour and berths into other big tournaments.
