Megan Khang and her hilarious bet with her LPGA buddy

The CME Group Tour Championship has a limited field of Top 60 players. It has so much to offer. The minimum pay for any of the 60 golfers is $40,000 and the winner takes home the first prize share of $2 million. 

The tournament will be played from November 16-19 at the Tiburón Golf Club at The Ritz-Carlton Naples. The players have already reached the venue and are spending the weekdays busy in practice. 

But today the practice session was briefly interrupted by a heavy downpour on the grounds. As the players resigned from playing during the rain, Alison Lee and Megan Khang enjoyed a fun game that ended up making Khang rich by 50 bucks! Lee challenged Khang to stand in the heavy rain for half a minute in return for $50 and Megan did it.

Lee wrote, “Told Megan Khang, I’d give her 50 dollars to stand in the pouring rain for 30 seconds.” Then Khang reposted the story on her handle and wrote, Easiest $50 I ever made.” Clearly the girls are having some fun before the big game!
