2024 AIG Women’s British Open prize money payouts for each LPGA player at St. Andrews

A record purse was awarded Sunday at St. Andrews.

Lydia Ko has done it again.

The newly-minted LPGA Hall of Famer was dominant down the stretch Sunday, capturing her third major title at the 2024 AIG Women’s Open at St. Andrews. Ko won by two shots over World No. 1 Nelly Korda, No. 2 Lilia Vu and No. 6 Ruoning Yin for her first major championship victory in more than eight years.

With the win, Ko will take home the top prize of $1,425,000, an increase from the $1,350,000 doled out a year ago.

Here’s the prize money payouts for LPGA players from the $9.5 million purse at the 2024 AIG Women’s Open at St. Andrews.

Newly minted Hall of Famer Lydia Ko wins 2024 AIG Women’s Open at St. Andrews

What a two-week stretch it has been for Lydia Ko.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Lydia Ko walked over to husband Jun Chung and tenderly put her hand on his cheek by the practice putting green. The couple, still looking like newlyweds, seemed about as relaxed as two people could be with a major championship on the line.

After hitting a few practice putts, Ko walked over to the falconer who’d been onsite all week and chatted about the magnificent creature whose job at the Old Course was to ward off pesky seagulls. Meanwhile, over on the nearby 18th green, 2023 AIG Women’s British Open champion Lilia Vu tried to get up and down for birdie to force a playoff at 7 under.

When Vu’s best efforts failed, Ko broke down in tears on the nearby practice putting green. Two weeks after winning the Olympic gold medal in Paris, playing her way into the LPGA Hall of Fame in the process, the 27-year-old ended a major championship drought that dated to the spring of 2016. Now a three-time major winner, Ko became only the third woman to win a major at the Home of Golf, joining Lorena Ochoa (2007) and Stacy Lewis (2013).

“I don’t think there’s a word in the dictionary that can explain what just happened,” said Ko, who held off a who’s who cast of players, including World No. 1 Nelly Korda, who doubled the par-5 14th and bogeyed the Road Hole to finish two back with former No. 1s Jiyai Shin and Ruoning Yin.

After Ko birdied the 72nd hole to take the clubhouse lead, Ko’s older sister and manager Sura noted everything looked golden in the Auld Grey Toon. Relentless wind wreaked havoc on the field all week, and rain chucked down late Sunday as the group of stars battled down the stretch.

But as Ko wrapped up a two-stroke victory that not an hour before looked destined for a playoff, the sun broke through as one of the game’s most popular players continued a fairy-tale run of the ages.

When asked during the closing ceremony where a victory over the Old Course ranks in her career, Ko said, “That’s kind of like saying ‘Do you like your mother better or your father?’”

The crowd roared.

This was the most unlikely major title for Ko to claim, given that she’d only had two top-10 finishes at the Women’s Open over the course of her career and had only recently learned how to embrace the quirkiness of links golf. There were times this week when Ko found she could do nothing but laugh at the absurdity of shots hit in wind so blustery it was tough to stand.

Ko was still a teenager when she won the ANA Inspiration, now Chevron, eight years ago. It was so long ago, in fact, the only thing she remembers about the day is holding her nose as she jumped into Poppie’s Pond.

Now a 21-time winner on the LPGA, Ko has been brutally honest in recent years about the valleys of her career. Even this week, she recalled a time last year in Portland when, after missing a cut, she couldn’t taste the barbecue she was eating with Sura because there were so many tears. She felt lost.

That’s why when the two sisters embraced in Paris and in St. Andrews, it was so emotional.

“I was emptied out so much in Paris,” said Sura.

Ko’s husband Jun was sad he couldn’t go to Paris and soaked up every second of St. Andrews. He picked up the game during Covid, and his passion for golf rubbed off on Ko, who agreed to tee times on their honeymoon and even caddied for him last year in an amateur tournament. Jun had his own tee times this week, playing Kingsbarns and Dumbarnie Links after spectating duties were over. He even took a tour of the R&A museum.

When Ko had an early tee time this week, Jun, who works for a tech start-up company in San Francisco, was up at 4 a.m., stretching alongside her. With a late tee time Sunday, Jun said they slept in and then watched some Kiwi golf influencers they like on YouTube to kill time.

“What I admire a lot about her is her grit,” said Jun. “I’ve never seen such a strict routine.

“I work in tech, and I see CEOs a lot of times… the grit she has doesn’t compare to anything I’ve ever seen.”

Coming down the stretch in driving rain and wind, Ko showed that Hall of Fame grit when she hit a stunning 3-wood into the Road Hole that set up a par-birdie finish that couldn’t be beat.

The last time the LPGA was in St. Andrews, a bespectacled Ko won the Smyth Salver for low amateur honors as Lewis claimed the title. So much life has transpired since that moment. So much growth.

This will likely be the last time Ko competes at the Home of Golf, and it’s appropriate to wonder how many more major starts are on the horizon for one of the best to ever play the game.

With a 5:50 a.m. flight on tap for Monday morning, Ko hadn’t planned much in the way of celebrations. They’d talked about having Thai food Sunday evening, but she worried the restaurant might have closed.

“Most of the time, I eat a burger after Sunday’s round,” she noted, “so there’s a high chance I’m going to do that.”

These days, it’s the company that matters most.

Magical Sunday in store at St. Andrews, where Lydia Ko’s legendary run continues at Women’s British Open

Sunday in St. Andrews will be a generational battle.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – Jiyai Shin won her first AIG Women’s British Open 16 years ago. At age 36, she’s the winningest player left in the field on the Old Course, where she leads defending champion Lilia Vu by one stroke, World No. 2 Nelly Korda by two and the LPGA’s newest Hall of Fame member, Lydia Ko, by three.

Sunday in St. Andrews will be a generational battle. Shin has won more than 60 titles worldwide. She left the LPGA at the peak of her game in 2014, taking her talents to Japan, where she’s now won 30 times. Her career began close to home on the Korean LPGA, where she won 21 times, and kicked into another gear when she won 11 times from 2008-2013.

A rookie on the LPGA in 2009, Shin set goals for the next decade, but reached them all in short order. She struggled to find her next step and motivation.

That’s when she decided she needed a change, and joined the Japan LPGA to be closer to family. She worried about disappointing her fans, but then she met new fans.

“I had a great decision,” said Shin, who wants to be a mentor to younger players the way so many were for her all those years ago.

Count Ko, 27, among those who look up to Shin, marveling at her 6:30 a.m. practice round earlier this week and the way she pushed herself in the gym.

It was Shin who played alongside Ko when she won the Canadian Women’s Open at age 15, a dozen years ago.

“I think that takes not only a lot of work ethic but passion towards the game in what she does,” said Ko, who called Shin’s decision to leave the LPGA in her prime courageous.

Ko comes into Sunday’s final round a little lighter than most, given that she played her way into the Hall by virtue of a storybook victory at the Paris Olympics. That’s not to say she isn’t still “greedy” about wanting to win more, but there’s certainly nothing left to prove.

“It’s definitely nice to know that I can go back to my room, and even if I have a bad day, there’s a gold medal, you know, waiting for me,” said Ko, who smiled and then quickly added, “and my husband.”

Korda closed with a birdie to stop the bleeding on a back nine that included two bogeys and a double. She led by as many as three on a sunny but windy day at the Home of Golf but dipped to third after a disappointing 75.

A victory at the Old Course would change the narrative on what’s been a challenging summer for Korda, who won six times in the first half of the year, including a major.

The last player to win seven times in a season, including multiple majors, was Yani Tseng in 2011. The last American player to do so was Kathy Whitworth in 1967.

Tseng’s 2011 British Open victory at Carnoustie was the last time a player won in back-to-back years in this championship. Vu has a chance to pull off the same on Sunday as she vies for a third career major title.

After managing to avoid the bunkers in the first two rounds, the 2023 LPGA Player of the Year had to take her medicine on the back nine Saturday.

“I was definitely a brat about it,” said Vu, “because I thought I hit a good shot, and then it happened to roll in.”

She credited her caddie for getting her mind right.

Vu missed several months of competition earlier this year with a back injury and does all that she can to combat the cold. On Friday, she went back and forth from the cold plunge to the sauna and found the new routine helpful, along with plenty of hot chocolate.

Last year’s victory came at Walton Heath, a parkland course, outside London. The gritty Vu got a kitten to celebrate, naming him Walton. There’s already a second bribe from her father in play that if she wins another major, she can get a second cat.

She’s already thought about names, noting that she’d get a girl this time around and name her Andie.

Ko, who gushes about her puppy Kai when asked, looks at what happened at the Paris Olympics as something that was too good to be true. Imagine then, how’d she’d feel about topping it off with a victory at the Home of Golf, snapping a major championship drought that stretches back to 2016.

Would she wave goodbye on the Swilcan Bridge? Ko, who has long said she wouldn’t play past 30, was asked about a walk-off retirement at the start of the week.

“I think you just have to listen to yourself,” said Ko. “The way Suzann (Pettersen) did it after holing that putt at Solheim, I mean, she couldn’t have finished her career on any more of a high.”

The same could be said for Ko, who could end her incredible career in the place where golf began. Doesn’t get more epic than that.

2024 women’s major championship venues including St. Andrews

The best women golfers in the world will take on the Old Course next year.

The 2024 LPGA schedule was released Thursday morning and there are plenty of tournaments to look forward to.

There will be 33 official events with a record total prize fund of $118 million. In 2023, there were three events with a purse of $3 million or more. In 2024, there will be 10.

The first two events — Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions (Jan. 18-21), LPGA Drive On Championship (Jan. 25-28) — will be in Florida before a three-week stretch overseas.

The new Boston event — FM Global Championship (Aug. 29-Sept. 1) — will be the final tournament before the Solheim Cup.

However, let’s get to what the people really care about — the majors.

Here’s everything you need to know for the five major championships next year.

Staff picks: Who will win their first major championship in 2024?

Don’t be surprised if a handful of rising stars command the spotlight in 2024.

Four of the five major champions on the women’s side in 2023 were first-time winners. As for the men? Two of four.

As the golf world moves on from 2023 and looks ahead to 2024, we got to thinking, who is most likely to add a major championship to their resume for the first time in the new year? Several writers on Golfweek‘s staff have made their picks, some surprising, some not so much.

Men’s 2024 major venues: Augusta National Golf Club (Masters), Valhalla Golf Club (PGA Championship), Pinehurst No. 2 (U.S. Open) and Royal Troon (Open Championship).

Women’s 2024 major venues: The Club at Carlton Woods (Chevron Championship), Lancaster Country Club (U.S. Women’s Open), Sahalee Country Club (KPMG Women’s PGA Championship), Evian Resort Golf Club (Amundi Evian Championship), The Old Course at St. Andrews (AIG Women’s Open).

Second major victory this year propels Lilia Vu to top of women’s world ranking

For the first time in the history of the Rolex Rankings, the top-two players are from the U.S.

[anyclip pubname=”2122″ widgetname=”0016M00002U0B1kQAF_M8171″]

Nelly Korda’s fifth stint atop the Rolex Rankings was short-lived as Lilia Vu’s second major championship victory this year has made her the new women’s World No. 1.

Vu ran away from the pack to claim the 2023 AIG Women’s Open at Walton Heath near London on Sunday for her third win this year after previously earning her first LPGA win earlier this season at the Honda LPGA Thailand and the Chevron Championship in April.

The 25-year-old is the fourth American to earn the No. 1 ranking since the inception in 2006. Vu also became the first American to win two major championships in a single season since Juli Inkster in 1999.

She also moves to No. 1 in the standings for the 2023 Solheim Cup team, though she had mathematically clinched her spot following the U.S. Women’s Open in July.

“Being the best in the world, that’s just crazy to me,” said Vu following her win at Walton Heath. “Just thinking about the struggle I had this year and just to come out with that has been — it’s just incredible.”

Korda is now ranked No. 2, which means for the first time in the history of the Rolex Rankings the top-two players are from the United States.

Photos: Protesters invade green during final round of 2023 AIG Women’s Open

Check out the photos of the protest during the final round of the last women’s major of the season.

Lilia Vu is the story of the day in women’s golf as the 25-year-old claimed her second major title of the season and third win of the year on Sunday at the 2023 AIG Women’s Open at Walton Heath near London.

However, on the 17th hole, a group of protesters from Just Stop Oil invaded the green with flares to speak out against the UK government from licensing all new oil, gas and coal projects. The group similarly protested last month’s Open Championship at Hoylake during the second round. A sign carried by one of the protesters read, “stop insuring climate crisis.”

Charley Hull had just hit an approach to the green when two invaders ran onto the putting surface with smoke flares. After the protesters were cleared, Vu finished her hole and went on to win the tournament.

“What a bunch of idiots,” Hull said after the round.

“I suffer from asthma, but didn’t have my inhaler on me and that stuff was really thick, so no it was not nice. I wasn’t scared when it happened, just thought they were idiots,” she said. “Someone said they are protesting about oil, but how did they get here today? Drove probably.”

Hull shot a 1-over 73 to finish six shots behind Vu for her second runner-up finish at a major championship this season.

Lilia Vu runs away with 2023 AIG Women’s Open for second major win of the season

Vu has three wins this season, two of which are major championships.

[anyclip pubname=”2122″ widgetname=”0016M00002U0B1kQAF_M8171″]

Lilia Vu is making 2023 a year to remember.

The 25-year-old picked up her first LPGA win earlier this season at the Honda LPGA Thailand and has since added two more wins, both major championships, to her impressive tally. Vu claimed the Chevron Championship in April and added the 2023 AIG Women’s Open on Sunday at Walton Heath Golf Club near London.

Ranked No. 6 in the world, Vu shot a final-round 5-under 67 to win by six shots at 14 under. She made an early birdie on the par-4 second hole and kept her round on track with six straight pars before a closing birdie on par-3 ninth. After the turn Vu began to run away from the pack with two more birdies on Nos. 10 and 12. Her lone bogey of the day came on the No. 15, but she got the shot back with another birdie on the 16th and a closing birdie on the final hole.

“It’s just been a crazy year for me,” she said. “Just doing pretty well at the beginning of the season and just hit a lull in the middle, just struggling. I thought at the U.S. Open after I played so bad, I didn’t know if I could ever win again.”

Charley Hull, who began the day tied with Vu for the lead, finished second at 8 under after a 1-over 73. Jiyai Shin (70) finished third. Hyo Joo Kim (74) and Amy Yang (70) finished T-4 at 6 under.

U.S. Women’s Open champion Allisen Corpuz had one of the low rounds of the day, a 3-under 69 to vault herself to a T-6 finish. Celine Boutier, back-to-back winner of the Amundi Evian Championship and Women’s Scottish Open, fell short of the trifecta but shot a final-round 4-under 68 to finish T-16. Defending champion Ashleigh Buhai missed the cut.

Since her win at the Chevron, Vu has missed four cuts over eight starts, with a best finish of 17th. On the season, she has just three top-five finishes, and they’re all wins.

“My mom, she always told me I was good enough have to compete out here and be the best. She’s really my rock and the reason why I’m here,” Vu said, talking about how imporant her family was in helping her find confidence at golf’s highest level. “And then also, with my grandpa passing away at the beginning of COVID, and I remember I was on my way to a tournament. I had saw him in the hospital before I left, and he was okay. It was a little scare, and he told me just to go out there and play my best before my tournament. Meanwhile, he’s sick and he’s worried about me and my golf game. By the time I came back, he had passed and those were his last words to me. I always think about that every single day. Even when I’m struggling out there on the course, I know he’s out there with me just letting me know that it’s going on okay.”

Defending champion among notables who missed the cut at 2023 AIG Women’s Open

Yani Tseng in 2010 and 2011 remains the last LPGA golfer to win the AIG back to back.

The 2023 AIG Women’s Open has reached the weekend at Walton Heath in Surrey, England, and with Ally Ewing holding a commanding five-shot lead after 36 holes.

Like Brian Harman at the Open Championship three weeks ago, Ewing is at 10 under and the only golfer who is double digits under par after two rounds.

The cut at the AIG came in at 2 over and 13 golfers made the cut right on the number. But the defending champ is among the notables who did not advance to the weekend. It’s now been a dozen years since a golfer has defended her title in the major.
