Walmart NW Arkansas Championship Prize Money Payout 2024
Hae Ran Ryu defends her title as many of the world’s best players compete for an increased purse at Pinnacle Country Club
The latest stop on the LPGA Tour is Pinnacle Country Club with the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship, where many of the best players in the world will compete.
Last year, Hae Ran Ryu claimed the title and earned $340,000 from the $2.3m purse, but this year, the payout increased significantly to $3m.
As a result, the winner will bank $450,000, while the runner-up is in line for a pay check of almost $283,000. Meanwhile, each player finishing in the top six is set for a six-figure payout.
Aside from the financial incentive, players are also battling for spots in the Race to CME Globe standings.
Thanks to six wins early in the LPGA Tour season, Nelly Korda remains at the top by more than 1,235 points, but with the World No.1 not in this week’s field and 500 points available to the winner, there is a chance to close the gap as players look to secure their place in the 60-player line-up for the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship.
Below is the prize money payout for the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship.
