The 2023 Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational purse is set for $2.7 million, with the winning team's share coming in at $656,230 ($328,115 each) -- less than the standard 15 percent payout according to the LPGA Tour's prize money distribution chart.

The first-place payout combines the standard 15 percent winner's payout, as prescribed by the LPGA Tour's prize money distribution chart, with second-place money, and averaging the two together.
