The LPGA Tour is set to play for a record $127.5 million in official prize money in 2025, marking another milestone for the independent circuit that has operated separately from the PGA Tour for 75 years. The schedule for the upcoming season was unveiled at the CME Group Tour Championship in Naples, Florida, with notable changes including the addition of new tournaments in Utah and Mexico, the conclusion of a 40-year run in Ohio, and the merger of the Founders Cup into an existing event.
Noteworthy exclusions from the official prize money total are the $2 million International Crown, a biennial team competition, and the $2 million Grant Thornton Invitational, a mixed team event with the PGA Tour. In comparison, the LPGA Tour played for $123.75 million in official prize money in 2024.
