Mizuho Americas Open Prize Money Payout 2024
Rose Zhang defends her title as the Liberty National tournament sees an increased prize money payout for its second LPGA Tour outing
While the PGA Championship inevitably commands most of the attention in the golfing world, another big event is taking place on the LPGA Tour this week, the Mizuho Americas Open at Liberty National in New Jersey.
Players will be competing for a competitive prize money payout, too, as the tournament marks its second year.
For the second week in succession on the LPGA Tour, a purse of $3m is available, and the winner will bank $450,000.
This week’s purse represents an increase of $250,000 on the money available at the 2023 tournament, where Roze Zhang claimed her maiden LPGA Tour victory in her first tournament as a professional to take home $412,500.
There is also an attractive payday on offer to the runner-up, with the player finishing second set to earn $282,976. Meanwhile, each of the top six on the leaderboard come Sunday evening will claim a six-figure sum as a record-breaking season for prize money on the LPGA Tour continues.
Other incentives include world ranking points, while the winner will also accumulate 500 Race to the CME Globe points as the battle to compete at the lucrative season-closing CME Group Tour Championship, which is set to have a purse of $11m, continues.

Who Are The Star Names In The Mizuho Americas Open?
In the 2023 tournament, Rose Zhang created headlines by securing her maiden LPGA Tour title in her first professional start. It’s taken almost a year for her to make that two wins, but the timing could barely have been better, with victory at last week’s Cognizant Founders Cup offering the perfect preparation for the defence of her title this week.

That moved Zhang to sixth in the world rankings. The player at the top of the list, Nelly Korda, was aiming for her sixth successive LPGA Tour win at last week’s event, but in the end had to settle for a T7. Nevertheless, she has been far and away the most dominant player in the women’s game in 2024, and she’ll be confident of further success here.
Other big names competing this week include the player Zhang beat in a playoff in 2023, Jennifer Kupcho, while besides Zhang and Korda, the other players in the world’s top 10 appearing this week are Celine Boutier, Ruoning Yin, Minjee Lee, Jin Young Ko, Charley Hull, Hannah Green and Brooke Henderson.
Other high-profile stars include Major winners Georgia Hall, Anna Nordqvist, Allisen Corpuz and Ashleigh Buhai.
