2024 CPKC Women’s Open prize money payouts for every LPGA player at Earl Grey Golf Club

The $2.6 million purse had a first-place prize of $390,000.

First-time winner Lauren Coughlin took home $350,000 for her fine work in Calgary, where she won by two after more than 100 career LPGA starts.

Coughlin has now earned $1,542,352 this season and $2,409,549 in her career. The former Virginia standout is the third Rolex First-Time Winner this season, joining Bailey Tardy (Blue Bay LPGA) and Linnea Strom (ShopRite LPGA Classic). Coughlin is also the third consecutive player to become a Rolex First-Time Winner at the CPKC Women’s Open, following Megan Khang (2023) and Paula Reto (2022).

Anna Davis was the only amateur to make the cut.

Welcome to The Rink, the hockey-themed party hole at the LPGA’s CPKC Women’s Open

They turned the par-3 17th hole into The Rink, a hockey-themed party hole where fans sit in the Penalty Box.

Hockey season may be over, but that doesn’t mean that even at a golf tournament Canadians aren’t going to be thinking about their national pasttime.

That includes this week’s LPGA stop north of the border in Calgary, Alberta, home of the Earl Grey Golf Club and the 2024 CPKC Women’s Open, Canada’s national championship.

For the tournament, organizers turned the par-3 17th into The Rink, the hockey-themed party hole and fans who upgrade their tickets can sit near the tee box in the “Penalty Box.”

The marshals are dressed up like referees, the tee box markers are mini goalie helmets and everyone up and down both sides of the hole bangs on the boards after the players tees off.

“It’s very cool. It’s very loud and a lot of energy there. Makes it really fun for us players, and I think the fans enjoy it as well,” said Canadian Brooke Henderson, who is drawing the biggest galleries this week at Earl Grey.

Fellow Canadian Alena Sharp, a Toronto Maple Leafs fan, admitted she’d don a Calgary Flames sweater on the hole on Sunday.

“I don’t want to get booed.”

American Lauren Coughlin, in search of maiden LPGA victory, takes early lead in Canada at CPKC Women’s Open

This marks the first time the Canadian Women’s Open has come to Earl Grey Golf Club in Alberta.

Lauren Coughlin began her opening round on the 11th hole Thursday, as is the case at the Earl Grey Golf Club in Calgary, where the 10th hole is a trek from the clubhouse. A string of pars – eight in all – tested Coughlin’s patience but veteran caddie Terry McNamara reminded her that in the wind and cooler temps, the CPKC Women’s Open was playing tough.

“They’ll come,” he told her.

And they did, five birdies on the front nine gave her an opening 4-under 68 and the clubhouse lead in her first start since she contended at the Amundi Evian Championship. Coughlin, who looks like a lock for this year’s Solheim Cup, is in her search of her maiden victory on the LPGA. The 31-year-old finished fourth in France and took a share of third earlier this season at the Chevron Championship.

“I’ve been hitting the ball – pretty much ever since Evian, I’ve been hitting the ball extremely well,” said Coughlin. “To keep it going even after an off week felt really good.”

Coughlin currently ranks sixth on the Solheim points list. The top seven automatically qualify. She lives only an hour from this year’s Solheim Cup venue at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia.

Australia’s Minjee Lee opened with a 69 and Canada’s own superstar, Brooke Henderson, shot 72.

“It was interesting,” said Henderson. “Not really the hot start that I wanted to get off to, but felt like we fought pretty hard. We were in some tough spots on some holes so it was nice to battle it out, get even par. Be nice to get a couple birdies early tomorrow and really climb up.”

In 10 starts in her national open, Henderson boasts six top-25 finishes, including a victory at the 2018 edition, when she became only the second Canadian to win the event. Her scoring average at the CPKC coming into this week was 70.06.

This marks the first time the Canadian Women’s Open has come to Earl Grey Golf Club in Alberta, the 30th different venue for this championship. This week’s CPKC is the first professional event this historic club has ever hosted.

With the Olympic Games around the corner, only three of the top 10 players in the world are in the field of 156, headlined by No. 2 Lilia Vu, Hannah Green (No. 6) and Rose Zhang (No. 9). There are 17 Canadians in the field.

Wildfire smoke caused the Air Quality Index (AQI) to soar in Calgary, though not high enough to halt play on Thursday.

“I played in Portland a few years ago when it was like we couldn’t even go outside for like three days,” said Coughlin, referring to the 2020 edition of the Portland Classic, “so this wasn’t too bad.”
