LPGA Tour announces record-breaking $100 million prize purse for 2023

The LPGA Tour made a historic decision by announcing a record-breaking purse of $101.4 million for 2023. In an announcement made on Friday, November 18, LPGA officials revealed that the 2023 tournament would comprise 33 official events scheduled to take place in 11 states in the USA and 12 different countries.

Speaking about the event, LPGA Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan said:

"Because of our athletes, partners, volunteers, and incredible fans, 2023 will be a banner year for the LPGA Tour. The schedule features new events, elevated purses, unique formats, and world-class golf courses. Our athletes are playing for more total prize money than at any time in history, and we have over 500 hours of broadcast television. All those things combine to make the LPGA the leading women’s professional sports property in the world."

Samaan also admitted that the LPGA Tour is working on providing a better platform for female golfers. She further elaborated:

"The LPGA Tour has never had better or more committed partners who see the commercial value in investing in women’s sports and who understand how their partnerships elevate women and girls on and off the golf course. As the home to the world’s best female golfers, the LPGA provides a platform to inspire young girls and women to dream big.”
