The LPGA Tour heads to Liberty National in New Jersey for the Mizuho Americas Open.
At the 2024 tournament, Nelly Korda continued a dominant season with her sixth victory, beating Australian Hannah Green by one. That handed her prize money of $450,000 from the $3m purse, and the stakes are equally high this year with an identical sum on offer.
The runner-up will also have a lucrative payday, with $282,976, while every player who places in the top six is in line for a six-figure sum.
As usual, world ranking points are also available, while 500 Race to the CME Globe points will be awarded to the winner.
Below is the prize money payout for the Mizuho Americas Open.

Who Are The Star Names In The Mizuho Americas Open?
While Nelly Korda won seven times in 2024, with her sixth coming at the Mizuho Americas Open, it has been a different story for the World No.1 so far this year.
Korda has yet to add to her 15 LPGA Tour titles in her six appearances, but she will be hopeful of addressing that this week, particularly after a stirring fightback at the Chevron Championship, where she had appeared set to miss the cut before eventually finishing T14.
She is highly unlikely to have it all her own way though, with many more world-class players in the field, including Rose Zhang, who won the event two years ago in her first event after turning professional.
Haeran Ryu, who won last week's Black Desert Championship, also plays, while other world-class names taking part include three-time Major winner Lydia Ko and Jeeno Thitikul, who is immediately behind Korda in the world rankings.
Hannah Green, who Korda beat by one last year plays too, along with 2024 Amundi Evian Champion winner Ayaka Furue and five-time LPGA Tour winner Ruoning Yin.
There are also appearances from Major winners including Celine Boutier, Brooke Henderson and Yuka Saso.
Where Is The Mizuho Americas Open?
The Mizuho Americas Open is taking place at Liberty National in New Jersey for the third successive year. The course, which opened in 2006, is known as one of the most expensive ever built, reportedly costing $250m.
What Is The Payout For The Mizuho Americas Open?
Players are competing for a share of an identical sum to the 2024 tournament, $3m. Back then, Nelly Korda won $450,000 after claiming the title, and this year's winner will be awarded the same figure.
