LPGA Drive On Championship Prize Money Payout 2024
Celine Boutier defends her title at the LPGA Tour's second tournament of the season


The LPGA Drive On Championship takes place at a new venue, Bradenton Country Club in Florida, where Celine Boutier defends her title after a playoff win against Georgia Hall a year ago.
The 120-player field will be competing for an identical purse to last year's tournament, which was held at Superstition Mountain Golf and Country Club in Arizona, with $1.75m available.
Boutier claimed $262,500 for her achievement last year, and the winner in 2024 will claim the same amount with the runner-up in line for a $165,070 windfall. Meanwhile, each player in the top seven will earn over $50,000.
The overall purse is also $250,000 higher than last week’s season-opener, the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, which was won by Lydia Ko. However, unlike last week, where each player in the no-cut, limited-field event received some prize money, this week, finishing above the cut line is necessary to receive some reward.
This year’s LPGA Tour is set to be a record-breaking year for prize money, with over $118m allocated, a 69% increase over the $70m on offer just two years ago. While this year’s LPGA Drive On Championship purse hasn’t increased from a year ago, it stands at $750,000 more than the prize money available at the tournament just four years ago.
Below is the LPGA Drive On Championship prize money payout.
