The 2022 LPGA Tour is the 73rd edition of the LPGA Tour, a series of professional golf tournaments for elite female golfers from around the world. The season began at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, in Lake Buena Vista, Florida on January 20, and will end on November 20, at the Tiburón Golf Club in the CME Group Tour Championship at Naples, Florida.[1] The tournaments were sanctioned by the United States-based Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA).
Schedule and results[]
The number in parentheses after each winners' name is the player's total number of wins in official money individual events on the LPGA Tour, including that event. Tournament and winner names in bold indicate LPGA majors. The schedule and purse amount for each tournament is listed on the LPGA website.[2] The LPGA has a standard formula for payout percentages and distribution of its purse and prize money for every event. The winner typically gets 15% of the total, second place gets 9.3%, third place 6.75%, etc.[3]
The total prize money to be won increases to $88.9 million for the 34 scheduled to be played, $19.7 million more than in 2021, with another $3.2 million increase announced by the U.S. Women's Open from $6.8 million to $10 million, the largest purse in women's golf, in January 2022. [4][5] The 2021 total was $69.2 million in its 30 played tournaments, with five canceled. The CME Group Tour Championship then had that tournament's purse at $5 million, and the winner's share of $1.5 million. For 2022, it will offer a larger purse of $7 million, and pay the winner $2.0 million, the largest winner's payout ever in woman's golf.[6]
