NAPLES, Fla. -- More than $100 million will be awarded to LPGA players for the first time in 2023, an increase of about 18% over what was planned for this season and more than doubling what was paid out on the tour just a decade ago.The LPGA's 33 official events next year will have a combined $101.4 million in purses, the tour announced Friday while unveiling the schedule.
The five women's golf majors account for $37.9 million of the planned purses, led by $10 million set to be paid out at the U.S. Women's Open at Pebble Beach next July. That tournament is immediately preceded on the schedule by the Women's PGA Championship at Baltrusol, a $9 million event. For now, Saudi-funded LIV Golf -- which will offer $405 million in 14 men's events in 2023 -- has not revealed any formal plans about trying to entice women's players, though CEO Greg Norman has mentioned the possibility. The LPGA hasn't had to worry about LIV, yet.
