FOLLOW: iHEART | TUNEIN


The 2021 CME Group Tour Championship purse is set for $5 million, with the winner's share coming in at $1,500,000 -- not the standard 15 percent payout according to the LPGA Tour's prize money distribution chart.

The CME Group Tour Championship field is headed by Jin Young Ko, Lydia Ko, Sei Young Kim and more.

This is the 28th event of the 2021 LPGA Tour season.

With 60 players in the field, there is no cut to the top 70 players and ties after 36 holes, as is standard practice on the LPGA Tour.

The event is played this year at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Fla.
