It pays to play well on the LPGA, just ask Angel Yin.
The 25-year-old took down her United States Solheim Cup teammate and world No. 1 Lilia Vu in a playoff to win the 2023 Buick LPGA Shanghai in the event’s first return to China after a three-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The win is the first of Yin’s career in 159 LPGA starts.
The American teammates previously squared off in a playoff earlier this season at the 2023 Chevron Championship, where Vu came out on top. Yin will take home the top prize of $315,000, with the runner-up Vu earning $192,550 as a consolation.
Check out the prize money payouts for each professional player at the 2023 Buick LPGA Shangai (Note: amateurs cannot make money at professional events).
