Okay, so I was just catching up on the golf scene the other day, you know, seeing what’s happening with the tournaments. The KPMG Women’s PGA Championship was on my radar, happening over at Baltusrol.
Then I stumbled across some news that really caught my eye. They were talking about the prize money. I remember last year’s purse, and I was curious if they’d bump it up again.
And guess what? They did! Right in the middle of the first round, they dropped the announcement. I had to read it twice just to make sure.
The Big Number
They’ve pushed the total purse up to $10 million this year. That’s a solid figure, right? Makes you stop and think for a second.
What really got me was the increase itself. Let me break down what I found:
- It’s a $1 million jump from what it was in 2022. A million bucks! That’s quite the statement.
- And this isn’t just a one-off thing. I looked it up, and apparently, this is the sixth year in a row they’ve increased the prize money.
Seeing numbers like that just makes you realize how things are shifting. It wasn’t that long ago that these figures seemed miles away. It’s pretty cool to see them hitting these milestones now.
Anyway, just thought I’d share that bit I came across. It’s definitely a positive sign for the players and the tour. Ten million dollars is a serious pot to play for. Good stuff.
