Kroger Queen City Championship Prize Money Payout 2024
Minjee Lee defends her title in the LPGA Tour event, which is taking place at a new venue


After an enthralling three days of action in the Solheim Cup at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, it’s back to a regular LPGA Tour schedule this week with the Kroger Queen City Championship.
This year, the event comes from a new venue, TPC River's Bend in Ohio, as 144 of the world’s best players compete.
In 2023, Minjee Lee claimed the title after beating Charley Hull in a playoff at Kenwood Country Club. That handed her prize money of $300,000 from the $2m purse, which left Hull having to settle for $188,651, and players are competing for an identical payout this week.
As well as the prize money, there are other considerations for the players, including claiming Race To CME Globe points as the season-long contest to reach the lucrative CME Group Tour Championship, which is slated to have a purse of $11m, continues.
Below is the prize money payout for the Kroger Queen City Championship.
