2024 Kroger Queen City Championship prize money payouts for each LPGA player

The first-place prize at TPC River’s Bend was $300,000.

Lydia Ko’s “surreal” stretch continued at the Kroger Queen City Championship, where the 27-year-old locked up her third official victory of the season, not including the Olympic gold medal.

Ko earned $300,000 for her efforts, giving her $2,569,317 this season and $19,512,009 in her career.

LPGA stats guru Justin Ray noted that Ko’s final-round bogey-free 63 is her 134th bogey-free round since 2014. That’s 50 more than anyone else during that span. Ko recorded only one bogey the entire week at TPC River’s Bend.

She now owns 22 LPGA career titles, the most among active players.

2024 FM Championship prize money payouts for each LPGA player at TPC Boston

The first-place prize at TPC Boston this week was $570,000.

The inaugural FM Championship features a $3.8 million purse, the largest of any event on the LPGA’s 2024 schedule outside of the five majors and the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship.

The first-place prize at TPC Boston this week was $570,000, which was claimed by Haeran Ryu after she survived a long day, a two-hour weather delay and a playoff against Jin Young Ko.

Another perk of this event was a $1,000 stipend for all those who missed the cut to help cover expenses.

Here’s the full prize money payouts at the 2024 FM Championship.

Haeran Ryu beats Jin Young Ko in a playoff to win 2024 FM Championship at TPC Boston

Ryu’s wild week included a 62, followed by a 78, followed by a 64.

The first FM Championship was a wild week capped by a really slow, although eventful, final round at TPC Boston in Norton, Massachusetts.

The final groups were through just 12 holes after four hours and then there was a dangerous weather delay of more than two hours. The action did end before sundown, but not before some interesting events on the golf course.

Riuxin Liu opened her final round with seven straight birdies to vault into contention but her week started in quite possibly the worst fashion, as she carded a 9 on the par-4 10th hole, her first hole of the week. She was 15 shots back of the lead at one point this week but clawed her way back into contention after making 25 birdies during her rounds of 73-73-64-64.

Haeran Ryu went low Friday with a 10-under 62, but then returned to post a 78 on Saturday. On Sunday, she threatened to go 10 under again and while a bogey on the 16th squashed that she was still tied atop the leaderboard with Jin Young Ko at 15 under through 14 holes.

Ryu would shoot a final-round 64 and to recap her week: her second round was seven shots better than her first; her third was 16 shots worse than her second; and her final round was 14 shots better than her third. A rollercoaster ride, indeed, and after she was done, she had to wait it out to see what Ko would do.

Ko has 15 LPGA wins and has at least one win every season since 2017 but she’s yet to win in 2024. On 18, looking for one last birdie to get on the board this season, Ko stuffed her second shot with rain coming down but couldn’t make the birdie putt and had to settle for par and a final-round 68 and a playoff.

That took Ko and Ryu back to the 18th tee and it took just one extra hole to decide things, as Ko missed the green with her third shot, leaving a difficult up-and-down that she could not convert.

Ryu’s third shot, meanwhile, spun back to about 12 feet and she needed two-putt from there for the win and she did, tapping in for her second LPGA victory.

Liu finished solo third, one shot back at 14 under. Allisen Corpuz and Jeeno Thitikul tied for fourth at 13 under. Celine Borge, Ariya Juntanugarn, Jennifer Kupcho and Arpichaya Yubol tied for sixth at 11 under. Yubol finished birdie-birdie-birdie-eagle-birdie, going 6 under over her last five holes, to post a 66.

The LPGA is off this week. The Solheim Cup is Sept. 13-15. The LPGA’s next tournament is the Kroger Queen City Championship in Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 19-22, the first of nine events remaining on the 2024 schedule.

Haeran Ryu opens huge lead at 2024 FM Championship at TPC Boston

Ryu shot a 10-under 62 on Friday at TPC Boston in Norton.

The first-ever FM Championship is turning into a rout.

Haeran Ryu shot a 10-under 62 on Friday at TPC Boston in Norton, Massachusetts, and is the lone golfer at double digits under par through two days. She’s at 13 under and had a six-shot lead over three golfers: Bianca Pagdanganan, Robyn Choi and Yealimi Noh.

Jin Young Ko and Lauren Coughlin are tied for fifth at 6 under.

Marina Alex, who led at the end of action at 4 under Thursday (the first round was suspended by weather with one group still on the course), shot a 72 after posting a 68. She’s now tied for ninth.

Ryu, the 2023 Louise Suggs Rookie of the Year, is seeking her second LPGA win. Her Friday 62 is the best round of the week by four shots.

The cut came in at 2 over. Among those who missed the cut were Albane Valenzuela (3 over), Gemma Dryburgh (3 over), Celine Boutier (4 over), Alison Lee (4 over) and Yuka Saso (4 over).
