2025 KPMG Women's PGA prize money payouts for each player at Fields Ranch East

Minjee Lee became the third Australian to win three major championships – joining Karrie Webb and Jan Stephenson – when she overcame demanding conditions at Fields Ranch East to win the 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. The Aussie now owns 11 LPGA titles, including three different majors. It marked her first victory since the fall of 2023.

Lee’s resurgence of late can be traced back to a major equipment change when she put the long putter in play at the start of the 2023 season. Her strokes gained putting rank improved from 137^th in 2024 to fifth in 2025.

Earlier in the week tournament officials announced a purse increase to $12 million, matching the U.S. Women’s Open for the highest prize fund on tour. For perspective, just four years ago the KPMG purse was $4.5 million.

Lee earned $1.8 million for her victory. At the 2022 U.S. Women’s Open, she earned the biggest paycheck in women’s golf history to date when she earned $1.8 million. (Later that same season, the winner of CME Group Tour Championship in November earned $2 million.)

Lee now has more than $17 million in career earnings and she has moved up one spot to seventh on the LPGA's all-time money list.

For Auston Kim, a tie for second gave her the biggest paycheck of her young career at $944,867. Prior to that, her biggest paycheck was $205,279 for a third place at the 2024 Lotte Championship.
