This tournament started with 144 players, and a cut was made this week after two rounds. Every professional player in the field is paid for completing the event, but how much each player is paid at the 2022 Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational from the correct 2022 Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational full-field payout is based on their finish.
The 36-hole cut was made to the top 35 teams (or top 70 players) and ties, and those players have an opportunity to move up the leaderboard in the final round.
The LPGA Tour cut rule is down to the top 70 and ties, with no secondary cut. The payout is modified when more than 70 players make the cut to ensure all players are paid.
What else is on the line
Beyond money, there are important points, perks and benefits on the line for the field -- in particular, the tournament winners.
