Two LPGA tournaments are held in Michigan: the Meijer LPGA for Simply Give in Grand Rapids on June 13 – 16 and the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational in Midland from June 27 – 30. A nonprofit that is the steward of our national title should not discriminate. However, last year, the US Open was $20 million for the men. The Women’s US Open is up to $11 million. Kudos to CME Group, Meijer, Mizuho, Walmart, P&G and Lotte. The CME Group Tour Championship’s purse will increase from $7M to $11M. The prize total is up $70 million from 2021, representing a 69% increase.įour events have elevated their prize total to $3 million, including the Meijer LPGA in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the Mizuho Americas Open, the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship presented by P&G and the LOTTE Championship. The upward trajectory of the LPGA continues, with 35 events on the 2024 schedule combining for more than $118 million in prize money.
