After the drama of the first women’s Major of the year, the Chevron Championship, attention turns to another big event on the LPGA Tour this week, the JM Eagle LA Championship.
The profile of the event is higher than ever because of a purse of $3.75m – a new record for a regular-season tournament. That means LPGA Tour players are now competing for an overall prize fund of more than $120m across the season, just two years after it had stood at $70m.
