The 2025 Black Desert Championship prize money payout is from the $3 million purse, with the 68 professional players who complete four rounds at Black Desert Resort in Ivins, Utah, earning LPGA Tour prize money and an official-money paycheck this week.

The winner's share of Black Desert Championship prize pool is at $450,000, with the second-place finisher taking home $280,610. Black Desert Championship 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.

The Black Desert Championship field is headed by Haeran Ryu, Esther Henseleit, Ruoning Yin and more.

This tournament started with 144 players, and a cut was made this week after two rounds to the top 65 and ties. Every professional player who made the cut and completes the tournament earns official money.

Every professional player in the field is paid for completing the event, but how much each player is paid at the 2025 Black Desert Championship from the correct 2025 Black Desert Championship full-field payout is based on their finish.

The LPGA Tour cut rule is down to the top 65 and ties, with no secondary cut. When more than 65 professional players make the cut, the payout is modified to ensure all players are paid, with the winner always getting 15 percent of the purse.
