The LPGA Tour continues with the inaugural Ford Championship, which takes place at Seville Golf and Country Club in Arizona.
After last week’s Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship, which saw Nelly Korda bag her 10th LPGA Tour title, and with it, prize money of $300,000 from the purse of $2m, there’s even more to play for this week.
The event offers a purse of $2.25m, which is the same as one of the big men’s event’s this week, the Hero Indian Open on the DP World Tour. The payout is also the highest on the LPGA Tour this season, coming in at $50,000 more than the prize money for the Blue Bay LPGA.
This week’s winner will earn $337,500, while the runner-up stands to make $212,232. As well as the financial prize, the victor will also bank 500 Race To CME Globe points and points in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings.

As ever on the LPGA Tour, there is a star-studded field for the event, including the world’s top five.
Nelly Korda moved back to the World No.1 position with her victory at last week’s Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship, and she will be hoping to consolidate that position amid competition from those immediately beneath her in the rankings – Lilia Vu, Celine Boutier, Ruoning Yin and Minjee Lee.
Elsewhere, Lydia Ko looks for the victory that would see her enter the LPGA Tour Hall of Fame, while there’s also an appearance from Blue Bay LPGA winner Bailey Tardy, HSBC Women’s World Championship victor Sarah Schmelzel and Patty Tavatanakit, who won the Honda LPGA Thailand.
Overall, the field contains 33 Major champions, with that group winning 49 of the showpiece events between them.
