The fourth tournament of the LPGA Tour season takes place at Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore with the HSBC Women’s Championship. After last week’s Honda LPGA Thailand, that makes it the second in a row being held in the Far East, and it is offering the largest prize of the season so far.
Players will be competing for a total payout of $1.8m, $500,000 more than the next highest of the year, which came at the LPGA Drive On Championship.
While there is a record $118 million available over the course of the season, this week's prize money is identical to the 2023 edition, when Jin Young Ko successfully defended her title. Like that occasion, the winner will earn $270,000. The prize fund is also $300,000 more than the purse available at one of the big men’s tournaments this week, the SDC Championship on the DP World Tour.
As well as the prize money, there are 500 Race to the CME Globe points and world ranking points up for grabs.
Below is the prize money payout for the HSBC Women’s Championship.

Who Are The Star Names In The HSBC Women’s Championship?
Jin Young Ko defends her title. Last year, the South Korean overcame a weather delay and a high-class field to pick up her first LPGA Tour title in 12 months. Ko made her first start of the season at last week’s Honda LPGA Thailand and finished T20. She’ll be hoping for her third successive win at Sentosa here.
As ever on the LPGA Tour, there is a hugely impressive field, including the player at the top of the world rankings, Lilia Vu. The American won two Major titles last year, and the other winners of last year's showpiece events are also in the field - KPMG Women’s PGA Champion Ruoning Yin, US Women’s Open champion Allisen Corpuz and Amundi Evian Championship victor Celine Boutier.
Thai star Patty Tavatanakit has been on a roll recently, with wins at both the Aramco Saudi Ladies International and the Honda LPGA Thailand, and she goes in search of the third successive title.
They are far from the only world-class players in the 66-strong field, though. Multiple Major winners Brooke Henderson and In Gee Chun also play, along with Lydia Ko, who is one win away from entering the LPGA Tour Hall of Fame.
Who Won The 2023 HSBC Women’s World Championship?
In 2023, Jin Young Ko won her first LPGA Tour title for a year after overcoming the challenges of some of the world’s best players, including Nelly Korda and Danielle Kang.
What Is The Prize Money For The HSBC Women’s World Championship?
Players will be competing for a purse of $1.8m – the same amount as last year. The winner will earn $270,000, while the overall prize money payout is $300,000 more than the SDC Championship on the DP World Tour.
