The Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational 2023 has a $2.5 million purse, making it an appealing proposition for some of the best female golfers. The substantial prize money adds an extra element of intensity and motivation for the players, pushing them to perform at their best on the course.

In earlier years, the champions of 2022, Jennifer Kupcho and Lizette Salas, secured their place in history with a well-deserved triumph, each taking home a sizable sum of $301,586 from the $2.5 million purse. The victory demonstrated the event's dedication to recognizing extraordinary talent and teamwork, raising the status of the tournament even higher.

The title and a $2.3 million payout were won in 2021 by the fearsome tandem of Ariya Jutanugarn and Moriya Jutanugarn. The winners received $279,500 apiece, demonstrating the event's dedication to fair and equitable distribution of earnings, as well as recognizing the efforts and achievements of both participants in the two-woman teams.
