Mone Inami earned $300,000 for her first LPGA victory at the Toto Japan Classic. Whether or not that money becomes official for the JLPGA player depends on whether or not she chooses to accept LPGA membership.
Official money no longer determines LPGA status, however, as the Race to the CME Globe list took its place several years ago. Inami will also earn 500 points in the Race to the CME Globe should she accept LPGA membership by day’s end.
The 78-player, no-cut field means everyone gets paid. Switzerland’s Morgane Metraux finished last and earned $3,611.
Here’s how the rest of the field fared at the 2023 Toto Japan Classic in Ibaraki, Japan.
