The 2021 CME Group Tour Championship final leaderboard is headed by winner Jin Young Ko, who ended the year with a big win at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Fla.
Ko found herself locked in a battle down the stretch with Nasa Hataoka, but Ko wound up having just enough to earn a one-shot win on 23-under 265.
Mina Harigae and Celine Boutier finished tied for third place, five back of Ko. Nelly Korda, who was the only other player who could win the Player of the Year award besides Ko, finished T-5, six back of the champion.
Ko won and the $1,500,000 winner's share of the $5,000,000 purse.
