2025 Ford Championship prize money payouts for each LPGA player at Whirlwind Golf Club
The LPGA returned to the U.S. for the first time since early February with the 2025 Ford Championship just outside Phoenix. The $2.25 million purse marked the first time for some in the field of 144 to earn a paycheck in more than a month.
The winner at Whirlwind Golf Club earned $337,500. A total of 74 players made the cut.
While Hyo Joo Kim made the headlines with her playoff victory, it was a meaningful week for a player like Lindy Duncan, who has struggled at times to keep her card in recent years but posted an early top-5 finish to set herself up well for the rest of the year.
LPGA Hall of Famer Lydia Ko continued her march to the top of the all-time money list with her T-6 showing, good for a $58,674 payday. Ko came into the week trailing all-time leader Annika Sorenstam by $1,988,588.
