The winner's share of the The Ascendant LPGA prize pool is at $255,000, with the second-place finisher taking home $139,217. The The Ascendant LPGA prize money payout breakdown shows a payout of 15 percent of the purse to the winner, and how much each LPGA Tour player earns is guaranteed down to the last-place professional player, which is $3,023 for 79th place.

The Ascendant LPGA field is headed by Nelly Korda, Lydia Ko, Brooke Henderson and more.

This tournament started with 144 players, and a cut was made this week after two rounds to the top 70 and ties. Every professional player who made the 36-hole cut is paid for the week, and all 80 players can improve in the final round. An amateur made the cut, and she will not be paid for her finish.
