Canada’s national championship takes place at Earl Grey Golf Club in Alberta as many of the world’s best players line up to compete for a record prize money payout at the event.
Last year, Megan Khang claimed her maiden LPGA Tour title in 191 attempts when the event was held in Vancouver, which bagged her a first prize of $375,000 from an overall purse of $2.5m.
However, there is more at stake in 2024 with the payout increased to $2.6m. As a result, this year’s winner will take home $390,000, while the runner-up will earn $245,246. Everyone in the top five will claim a six-figure sum.
As usual, there are also 500 Race to the CME Globe points available to the winner, as well as all-important world ranking points.
Below is the prize money payout for the CPKC Women’s Open.

Who Are The Star Names In The CPKC Women's Open?
Brooke Henderson won the event six years ago
As well as defending champion Megan Khang, who beat Jin Young Ko in a playoff in 2023, there are many other top names from the women’s game heading to Calgary, including six of the world’s top 10.
The player who will generate the most attention is Canadian superstar Brooke Henderson. She has 13 LPGA Tour wins to her name, including her national championship in 2018, and she’ll have the backing of most of the crowd as she looks for a repeat of that success.
Other huge names in the field include three-time winner of the event Lydia Ko, who remains one win short of a place in the LPGA Tour Hall of Fame following her one victory this season, the Hilton Grand Vacation Tournament of Champions.
World No.2 Lilia Vu is also in action, where she will be hoping to build on her most recent LPGA Tour success, the Meijer LPGA Classic, which she won in June.
Lilia Vu is looking for her second LPGA Tour win of the season
Two-time LPGA Tour winner Rose Zhang also plays, along with Hannah Green, who ranks sixth in the world, helped by victories in the HSBC Women’s World Championship and JM Eagle LA Championship.
Lexi Thompson will also be playing in her 11th and potentially final CPKC Women’s Open after announcing she will be retiring from full-time professional golf at the end of the season.
Other former winners of the tournament competing here are 2022 champion Paula Reto, Ariya Jutanugarn, who won in 2016 and 2011 winner Britney Lincicome.
Where Is The CPKC Women’s Open?
For the first time in the tournament’s history, the event will be played at Earl Grey Golf Club in Calgary, Alberta. The course opened in 1919, and, in time for its centenary, renovations were completed in 2018.
Who Is Playing In The CPKC Women’s Open?
Some of the world’s best players are in the field, including defending champion Megan Khang, local favorite Brooke Henderson, former World No.1 Lydia Ko, who has three victories at the tournament, and two-time Major winner Lilia Vu.
