The LPGA Tour season continues with the Portland Classic at Columbia Edgewater Country Club in Oregon.
Last year, Monday qualifier Chanettee Wannasaen claimed her maiden LPGA Tour title while still a teenager. The Thai player did it in style, too, winning by four over Xiyu Lin in a performance that included a bogey free 63 in the final round.
Back then, she won $225,000 of the $1.5m purse, but there’s more to play for this year, with a payout of $1.75m available. As a result, this year’s winner will earn $262,500, while the runner-up will be better off by $165,070.
Nevertheless, the purse is one of the smaller on the LPGA Tour this season and is identical to the Drive On Championship and the ShopRite LPGA Classic. However, it’s not just financial incentives on offer with 500 Race to the CME Globe points also available to the winner, as well as the usual world ranking points.
Below is the prize money payout for the Portland Classic.
