Qualification[]

Since 2014, the field has determined by a season-long points race, the "Race to the CME Globe". All players making the cut in a tournament earned points, with 500 points going to the winner. The five major championships had a higher points distribution, with 625 points to the winner. No-cut tournaments only awarded points to the top 40 finishers. Only LPGA members are eligible to earn points. From 2014 to 2018, the top 72 players on the points list and any tournament winners, whether or not a member, earned entry into the championship. The points were reset for the championship and the points leader after the championship won a $1 million bonus. Only the top-12 players entering the tournament has a mathematical chance of winning the bonus.

Since 2019, the top 60 players on the "Race to the CME Globe" points list gained entry into the championship. Tournament winners are no longer given automatic entry into the championship. The bonus is now rolled into the purse so that the winner of the tournament wins $2.0 million. All 60 players compete for the top prize.[1][2]
