Golf is one of those games where prize money is on the higher side, especially at the highest level. Even, women’s golf tends to have a good tournament purse for prominent events. However, there is still a noticeable gap between men’s golf prize money and women’s golf prize money purse. 

Meanwhile, the LPGA has three members of the $20 million club and four who have won at least $17 million in on-course earnings. Hence, even though the prize money isn’t equal to that of men’s golf, it is still a good amount of money. So let us see who are the top 10 players with the highest career money earnings on the LPGA Tour.
