The 2025 Walmart NW Arkansas Championship prize money payout is from the $3 million purse, with the professional players who complete four rounds at Pinnacle Country Club in Rogers, Arkansas, earning LPGA Tour prize money and an official-money paycheck this week.

The winner's share of Walmart NW Arkansas Championship prize pool is at $450,000, with the second-place finisher taking home $282,977 (but can change based on the number of players who make the cut on Sunday morning). The Walmart NW Arkansas 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 Walmart NW Arkansas Championship field is headed by Nelly Korda, Lottie Woad, Leona Maguire and more.

This tournament started with 144 players, and a cut was to be made this week after two rounds to the top 65 and ties. However, after rain canceled the vast majority of second-round play, the hope was to resume the tournmaent on Sunday. Ultimately, though, the course proved unplayable after 3.25 inches of overnight rain. With the weather forecast on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday expecting more rain, the LPGA decided to cancel the remainder of the tournament. The event is unofficial and will be based on 18-hole scores. The prize money payout will be announced later in the day on Sunday.

What else is on the line

Since this is now an unofficial event on the schedule, as a tournament needs to be at least 36 holes to be official, there are no Rolex Women's World Golf Ranking points and no Race to the CME Globe points awarded. The unofficial winners, Sarah Schmelzel and Minami Katsu, do not get additional LPGA exemption status.
