The PGA Tour season is over, the Ryder Cup is now complete and other than the fall events, there isn’t much action on the men’s side. That’s not true with the LPGA, as there are still eight events remaining this year.
After a week off the LPGA is back and in Hawaii at the Lotte Championship at Hoakalei Country Club in Oahu. They’re playing for a $3 million purse with $450,000 going to the winner. The event started Wednesday and will end Saturday.
There are three past champions in the field, including A Lim Kim from last year. Thirteen of 25 different winners on tour this year are participating, 17 LPGA rookies are in Hawaii as are nine of the top 25 players in the world with Nelly Korda (2) and Charley Hull (5) topping the list.
After this week the LPGA will head to Asia until early November, including stroke play events in China, Korea, Malaysia and Japan. The International Crown will be held Oct. 23-26 at New Korea Country Club. When the tour returns the Annika event and CME Group Tour Championship will end the season in Florida.
Here’s the rundown of what each player will earn this week who makes the cut. Check back here Saturday after play is complete for updates.
