2023 Ascendant LPGA benefiting Volunteers of America prize money payouts for each LPGA player

Hyo Joo Kim earned $270,000 for her victory at the Ascendant LPGA, crossing the $2 million mark for the first time in her career. With $2,014,978 this season, the South Korean now has $8,617,877 in LPGA career earnings.

The total purse for the event was $1.8 million.

Bianca Pagdanganan earned $143,411 for a share of second, giving her a six-figure payday for a second straight week. Pagdanganan’s top-3 finishes the past two starts secured her card for 2024.

Monday-qualifier Katherine Muzi made $45,658 in her first LPGA start, which will go a long way in the early days of her pro career.

Lexi Thompson had only made $132,902 the entire season going into the Ascendant. She made $75,085 for her solo fifth in Texas.
