Walmart NW Arkansas Championship 2025 prize money payout: How much did each golfer win from the $2M purse?

Excessive rainfall made the conditions unplayable at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship. The last two rounds were canceled, and the result based on the first 18 holes was shortened.

The payout for the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship was declared based on the first-day score only. The initial purse size was $3 million, but the $1.5 million was distributed to the top 65 and ties as per LPGA rules. The additional $500,000 was distributed equally among the remaining players.

Co-leaders Minami Katsu and Sarah Schmelzel bagged a $183,095 share while Lilia Vu, Somi Lee, and four others received $63,392 for a T3 finish at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship. Nelly Korda tied for 66th and received $3,500, just like the remaining players below her.
