Since there is no cut after the first two rounds, all players would receive the prize money. It is a general rule in the LPGA Tour not to make cuts to the top 70 players. There are 66 players on the field this year.

The purse money has increased a little bit from last year since it was $1.6 million in 2021. Hyo Joo Kim won the winner’s share of $240,000 last year. She had won the tournament with an overall score of 17-under 271.

Patty Tavatanakit, Inbee Park, and Xiyu Lin got tied for a third-place, whereas Hannah Green secured the second position. The second place won $149,262 of the purse money, and each third prize winner bagged $86,487.

The points will help them get into the top 60 that qualify for the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship. Apart from the race points, the winner will also receive a two-year exemption on the LPGA Tour and berths into other big tournaments.

After the third round, In Gee Chun of South Korea is leading the 2022 Championship with an overall score of 12-under 204. However, since she has only a one-shot lead from second place, there is no way to predict who would win the title after the last round.
