The fourth event on the LPGA Tour’s 2024 schedule is nearing its close. The HSBC Women’s World Championship is unique in itself as it possesses no cut, and hence, there is no risk for the pros to miss the last two rounds.

Along with 20-time LPGA Tour winner Lydia Ko and World No. 1 Lilia Vu, many rising stars like 8-time JLPGA Tour winner Ayaka Furue and Andrea Lee are on the greens, too. But, of course, there can only be one winner. And with a six-figure check at stake, it is certainly not coming in easy for anyone!

Fun fact: The HSBC Women’s World Championship’s prize purse is $300,000 more than the men’s event at the DP World Tour happening at the SDC Championship ($1.5 million) in South Africa this week.
Notably, the payout of the prize money could be subject to a change, seeing how three players have since withdrawn from the event, bringing its field size down to 63. Regardless, one thing is certain: the winner will take home a huge sum. And if the defending champion, Jin Young Ko, proves to be that victor, she’ll also make history!
