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.

Who Are The Star Names At The LPGA Drive On Championship?
Lydia Ko is hoping for back-to-back wins to confirm her entry into the LPGA Hall of Fame
As well as defending champion Celine Boutier’s appearance, Lydia Ko follows up her victory at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions with another start. She is now just one point away from a place in the LPGA Tour Hall of Fame, and another win here would be enough to get over the line.
