Before ending the 2024 season, the LPGA Tour will move through a few Asian countries like China, Malaysia, and South Korea. Currently, the women’s tour is in Seowon Valley CC, Seowon Hills, for the 2024 BMW Championship with many top golfers like Lydia Ko, Hannah Green, Rose Zhang, Ashleigh Buhai, and others in the field.

Unlike last week, when the LPGA Tour was at the Buick LPGA Shanghai, the prize money was $2.10 million. But at the BMW Ladies Championship, there has been a small $10,000 increase, and the total purse is $2.20 million. When compared to the PGA Tour’s Shriners Children’s Open, where the purse is $7 million, the BMW Ladies Championship’s prize money is still notably low.
However, since the event was added to the LPGA Tour’s schedule in 2019, it has seen a $200,000 increase since, so it could be seen as a win for women’s golf. Nonetheless, it still is a hefty purse for the field. And from the $2.20 million, the winner will bag $330,000, while the runner-up will take home a check of $207,516, and the third-place winner will receive $150,583. The total prize money distribution is below:

What’s more to win at the 2024 BMW Ladies Championship?
In the 2024 season, the one golfer who took the reigns of the Race to CME Globe was none other than Nelly Korda. With her six incredible victories on the LPGA Tour, she took the lead in the season-long point list and has secured her seat at the CME Group Tour Championship.
But is Korda there at the BMW Ladies Championship? Unfortunately, no. The world no. 1 faced a minor neck injury before she could tee up in South Korea. The field gets a chance to win at the Seowon Valley CC and get those 500 Race to the CME Globe points.

Ultimately, only the top 60 and ties will make it to the $11 million CME Group Tour Championship and get the lucrative winner’s check. With Korda not in the field, it gives many a chance to lead and win. So, who will be the 2024 BMW Ladies Championship winner? Stay tuned to find out.
