2024 AIG Women’s Open final results: Prize money payout, LPGA Tour leaderboard and how much each golfer won

T he 2024 AIG Women's Open final leaderboard is headed by winner Lydia Ko, who topped the LPGA Tour leaderboard this week with a major championship win at The Old Course at St. Andrews in Fife, Scotland.

Ko won a major for the third time in her career and her first since 2016 with a two-shot victory over four players, icluding Lilia Vu, Ruoning Yin, Jiyai Shin and Nelly Korda on 7-under 281.

Ko birdied the 72nd hole to set up the win, when Korda bogeyed the 71st hole and Vu was unable to make birdie on the 72nd hole to force a playoff.

Ko won the $1,425,000 winner's share of the $9,500,000 purse.

AIG Women's Open recap notes

Ko picks up the win in the 24th LPGA Tour event of the season, getting in the winner's circle for a second time in the last month after winning the Olympic gold medal in Paris.

By winning the event, Ko earned 650 points in the Race to the CME Globe, with the top 60 players in points getting into the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship.

2024 BMW Championship leaderboard, grades: Keegan Bradley, last to advance in FedEx Cup Playoffs, picks up win

Bradley started the tournament no. 50 in the fedex cup standings before finishing at 12 under at castle pines.

The last man in the field at the onset of the week is the last man standing at the end of it. Keegan Bradley emerged from an eclectic leaderboard Sunday at Castle Pines to grab his seventh PGA Tour victory and his second BMW Championship crown. Signing for a final-round 72, Bradley converted his one-stroke lead at the 54-hole mark into a one-stroke victory over Ludvig Åberg, Sam Burns and Adam Scott at 12 under.

After going winless for four years, Bradley has collected three trophies in his last 44 starts with this one coming at the most ideal of times. Entering the tournament at No. 50 in the FedEx Cup, Bradley now jumps to fourth in the season-long race and will begin his tournament in Atlanta at 6 under behind only Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele and Hideki Matsuyama.

"It just shows why you've got to grind it out every week because you never know how fast this can switch," Bradley said. "Now, I go to Atlanta with a chance to win the FedEx Cup. I can't believe it. I'm so excited."

Bradley, who was tapped to serve as an assistant captain at Royal Montreal, now gives U.S. Presidents Cup captain Jim Furyk plenty to think about in terms of his services and whether a role as a player may be a better fit. Should Furyk select Bradley, it would mark his first stint in a team competition since the 2014 Ryder Cup.

After holding his eighth first-round lead of his PGA Tour career, Bradley fell one spot on the leaderboard entering the weekend. An up-and-down back nine to close his Moving Day was enough to regain the outright lead over his fellow veteran, Scott.

Paired together for the second straight day, the two came out firing as Bradley threw a nifty wedge from 90 yards in tight for an opening birdie while the Australian connected from outside 40 feet for eagle to pull all square. Fireworks appeared inevitable, but Castle Pines had a say in the matter as firm and fast conditions posed problems for players.

Bradley and Scott remained tied heading into the back nine before Scott filed three straight bogeys on his scorecard to begin the inward half. With Sam Burns surging up ahead signing for a final-round 65 to post the clubhouse lead at 11 under, Bradley possessed a two-stroke lead with six holes to play.

Åberg appeared likely to threaten but an ill-timed mistake on the par-5 14th turned a surefire birdie into a bogey instead. It proved to be a critical difference in the end as the young Swede scored birdies on Nos. 15 and 17 only to fall just short. Scott still had his chance, but when Bradley opened the door on the par-4 15th, he slipped as well.

Matching bogeys on No. 15 all but spelled the end for Scott despite a late birdie on the par-5 17th and a glimmer of hope shining on the final hole. Bradley's own birdie on No. 17 gave him enough breathing room to bogey the last hole and become just the third U.S. Ryder Cup captain to win after being appointed, joining Jack Nicklaus in 1986 and Davis Love III in 2015.

"I was shaking over that last putt," Bradley said. "I was ready for those cheers. We did it, it was a battle all day." Grade: A+

Here are the grades for the rest of the notables on the leaderboard at the 2024 BMW Championship. 

T2. Adam Scott (-11): What could have been for Scott? After entering the final nine holes atop the leaderboard alongside Bradley, the 44-year-old lost his touch on the greens. Missing countless short putts at crucial junctions in the tournament, Scott still had a chance on the 72nd hole to win his 15th PGA Tour event. Although from a longer distance, Scott's birdie bid on the last was for not and meant a runner-up finish for the second time in his last four starts. The good news is he jumps from outside the top 40 to inside the top 15 in the FedEx Cup. Grade: A

T2. Ludvig Aberg (-11):  After a T4 at the Scottish Open, Aberg had done basically nothing until this week so it was nice to see him get back into contention. It wasn't just the contention, either, but also how he did it. Aberg's all-around game was tremendous and he finished in the top 10 from tee to green in one of the more talented fields of the year at a venue where several stars (like Scottie Scheffler) struggled quite a bit. Now inside the top six in the FedEx standings, it would be a pretty wild outcome if Aberg was able to chase down Scheffler and Xander Schauffele to win the FedEx Cup and $25 million next week.  Grade: A

T33. Scottie Scheffler (+1):  This week was about as frustrated as Scheffler has seemed all season. It was also just the third event in 2024 in which he's finished outside the top 10. Yes, the top 10. That part is remarkable, for sure, but even more shocking was that Scheffler lost shots to the field from tee to green on the week at Castle Pines. The last time that happened was at the 2022 PGA Championship at Southern Hills, almost two and a half years ago. The good news for Scheffler is that he didn't lose his hold on the No. 1 spot in the FedEx Cup.  Grade: D- T39. Justin Thomas (+2):  J.T. flirted with the 30-player cutoff line all day on Sunday and looked to have fallen on the wrong side of it before an implosion by Alex Noren in the penultimate group. It was disappointing that it came down to this given that Thomas was comfortably inside the top 25 going into the week but played his first three rounds in  6 over  and didn't break par in any of his rounds. It was a terrible run of play at a bad time for Thomas, but he reaches East Lake for the eighth time in the last nine seasons after missing the playoffs entirely a year ago.  Grade: D

Ludvig gets within one

The Swede is sneaking up the leaderboard and is now within one of Keegan Bradley with one to play. After finding the surface in two on the par-5 17th, Aberg needs two putts for his birdie and heads to the last at 11 under where clubhouse leader Sam Burns stands.

Bradley blinks

That final group made a mess of the par-4 15th. Keegan Bradley does well to save bogey to drop to 12 under while Adam Scott misses ANOTHER short one on the greens to drop to 10 under where Ludvig Aberg stands. Sam Burns is sitting pretty in the clubhouse now just one off the lead. The final group will receive the benefit of the par-5 17th, but a couple tricky holes still remain.

Big moment on No. 14 upcoming

It feels like a birdie from Keegan Bradley COULD put this on ice. He blasted his tee shot into the trees right, but received a great break and is now back in the fairway and should have nothing more than a gap wedge into the green for his third. If he gets that up-and-down that would put him three clear of Sam Burns and possibly Adam Scott who is in the greenside bunker in two with four holes to play.

Bradley up three on those on the golf course

Sam Burns is in the clubhouse at 11 under after a stellar round of 65. He trails Keegan Bradley by two as the leader continues to plug along with some nice par saves from 4 to 8 feet. Adam Scott has started his back nine with three straight bogeys to drop to 10 under where Ludvig Aberg is after connecting from 40 feet on the par-4 13th for birdie.

Bradley opens up two-stroke lead

Back-to-back bogeys from Adam Scott means Keegan Bradley now leads by two. Sam Burns will have a chance to post 11 under while Scott is struggling with the broom stick. A couple of short misses on the greens inside 10 feet have given Bradley the current margin with seven to play.

2022 LPGA Tour schedule: Tournaments, dates, purses and venues

The 2022 LPGA Tour schedule has been announced, with record prize money for the 34-event docket that means better playing opportunities across the board.

The most significant changes to the schedule are increases to purses in two majors and the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship.

Purse-boosted events

The biggest purse increases on the 2022 LPGA Tour schedule are in three majors, with the US Women's Open purse increasing to $10 million from $5.5 million. The Chevron Championship (formerly the ANA Inspiration) and the AIG Women's Open are seeing huge increases.

The season-ending CME Group Tour Championship purse is also increasing by $2 million to $7 million. The winner of the event will now earn $2 million, marking the biggest first-place prize in women's golf history.

Other tournaments to announce elevated purses are the Trust Golf Women’s Scottish Open ($2 million, up $500,000 from 2021), the LPGA Mediheal Championship ($1.8 million, up $300,000 from 2021), the Pelican Women’s Championship ($2 million, up $250,000 from 2021), the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational ($2.5 million, up $200,000 from 2021), the Meijer LPGA Classic ($2.5 million, up $200,000 from 2021) and the HSBC Women’s World Championship ($1.7 million, up $100,000 from 2021). Additional purse increases are expected to be announced throughout the season.

There are several new events on the schedule, with JTBC stepping up to increase their sponsor presence on the Tour. The JTBC Championship at Palos Verdes completes a California triple around The Chevron Championship. The Kroger Queen City Championship brings the LPGA to Cincinnati.

100 GREATEST HOLES

Who's moving on, who's out, what's next: Everything you need to know halfway through LPGA Tour Q-Series

Any tour pro will tell you Q School is rough. The pressure of playing for a card can rattle the most talented golfers. And that pressure is what 110 women began facing last Thursday at Magnolia Grove in Mobile, Ala., with 45 tour cards on the line at LPGA Q Series. At the end of Sunday, the field has reached the halfway point in the two-week eight-round odyssey. Here's everything you need to know to catch you up on where things stand and prepare you for another 72 holes.

What’s happened so far?

Two stages of Q-School have already been completed, leading into Q Series, which was formerly known as the Final Stage of Q School. The Q Series field is composed of LPGA Tour members who are ranked 101-150 on the 2021 LPGA money list, Symetra Tour members who are ranked 11-30 on their money list, any player who is ranked in the top 75 in the world who is not an LPGA Tour member and qualifiers who’ve advanced from Stage II. Four rounds were played this week, with the top 70 and ties getting the chance to play the second 72 holes, which starts on Thursday. All scores carry over into Week 2.

Who’s made the cut?

Here’s a look at some of the bigger names who have gotten off to solid starts through the opening 72 holes of Q Series:

Pauline Roussin-Bouchard Leading, 19-under 267 The 21-year-old Frenchwoman has a two-stroke lead through the first four rounds. She’s a former No. 1 ranked amateur in 2020 who played two seasons at the University of South Carolina before turning pro this summer.

Stuart Franklin

Hye-jin Choi Second place, 17-under 269 You might remember her from the 2017 U.S. Women’s Open, where the Korea LPGA Tour member finished T-2 as an amateur.

Kaitlynn Papp T-11, nine-under 277 Papp graduated from the University of Texas in 2021 and turned professional. She was the low amateur at the 2020 U.S. Women’s Open, finishing an impressive T-9.

Bianca Pagdanganan T-19, seven-under 279 Pagdanganan was an LPGA rookie starting in 2020, a strange year to be introduced to the tour. But she played well, highlighted by a third-place finish at the LPGA Drive On Championship-Reynolds Lake Oconee, but couldn’t sustain that momentum into 2021, where she had just one top-25 finish.

Hinako Shibuno T-24, six-under 280 In 2019 at the AIG Women’s Open Championship, Shibuno became an incredibly unlikely, and incredibly likable, major champion. At the time, she turned down status on the LPGA Tour to continue playing at home on the Japan LPGA Tour, but is now looking to earn it for the 2022 season.

Atsushi Tomura

Emily Pedersen T-24, six-under 280 The 25-year-old from Denmark plays on the Ladies European Tour and was a member of the victorious European Solheim Cup team, going 3-1-0 in September at Inverness Club

Anne van Dam T-35, four-under 282 A video of van Dam’s swing went viral on social media, with many saying she might have the best move in golf right now. She’s also among the longest hitters on the LPGA Tour. Still, none of this has translated into on-the-course success for the 26-year-old from the Netherlands, who joined the tour in 2019; she’s had only one top-10 finish in 2021.

Gina Kim T-52, even-par 286 Kim is one of five amateurs moving on to the final 72 holes of Q Series. She’s a senior at Duke who if she earned a LPGA card can defer her status until after completing her college season in May.

Who didn’t make the cut to get to the final 72 holes?

The cutline came at one-over 287. Players outside the cut line can’t earn LPGA cards but will have some status on the Symetra Tour in 2022.

Haley Moore T-75, two-over 288 Moore gained attention in 2018 when she won her match at the NCAA Championship to clinch the team title for her University of Arizona team. She joined the LPGA Tour in 2020 and has used her platform to speak out against bullying.

Edward M. Pio Roda

RELATED: What it’s like to have your LPGA rookie season interrupted by COVID

Tiffany Chan T-75, two-over 288 Chan became the first woman from Hong Kong to earn her LPGA Tour card when she qualified for the tour in 2019. She is a two-time Olympian.

Sierra Brooks T-81, three-over 289 While attending the University of Florida, Brooks was runner-up at the 2019 NCAA Championship. Earlier that year, she finished T-10 at the inaugural Augusta National Women's Amateur. She joined the Symetra Tour in 2020, and had five top-10 finishes in 2021.

Mike Ehrmann

RELATED: What it's like to watch your daughter play Augusta National

Louise Ridderstrom T-89, five-over 291 Riddestrom, from Sweden, joined the LPGA Tour in 2019, her best finish was 18th that season.

What's next?

Play resumes Thursday at with the top 45 players and ties from the next 72-hole event earning LPGA status for 2022. Players who finish T-20 and below will get Symetra Tour status.

A Guide to the LPGA Tour's Landmark 2022 Season

• Author: Adam Stanley

It’s a year of exciting changes for the LPGA Tour, and it all gets started this week at the Tournament of Champions — an event that feels like a microcosm of 2022.

There’s a new sponsor (Hilton Vacations), a new golf course (Lake Nona Golf and Country Club) and there are storylines abound at an event with an increased purse for 2022.

And that’s just the first event of the year.

Here’s just about everything you need to know for the season ahead.

Can anyone top Jin Young Ko?

Jin Young Ko was the LPGA Tour Player of the Year for 2021.

Golffile | David Brand

Last season’s Player of the Year went on the heater of all heaters through the summer months winning five times in nine starts after July 1. She admitted at the CME Group Tour Championship (the season finale) that she wasn’t herself after her grandmother passed away in March, but she pivoted physically and mentally through the balance of 2021 and knew that her grandmother would be proud of her accomplishments.

There was certainly much to be proud of.

Ko, 26, finished outside the top-six on the LPGA Tour just once during that nine-tournament stretch in the summer. She defended her title at the CME Group Tour Championship winning the Race to the CME Globe, Player of the Year, shot 14 consecutive rounds in the 60s and topped the money list. She also won the money title in 2020 after just four starts due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

She is as complete a player as any on the LPGA Tour (13th in driving accuracy, second in greens in regulation, 19th in putting average, and second in scoring average) and will once again be the player to watch in 2022.

What should we expect from Nelly Korda?

Nelly Korda begins 2022 as the top-ranked player in the world.

Scott Halleran / Golffile.ie

For all of Jin Young Ko’s accomplishments in 2021, however, it was American Nelly Korda who ended the year ranked No. 1 in the world.

Korda won four times last season — including her first major — along with the Olympic gold medal in Tokyo. She admitted she ran out of gas at the end of the year (she won the penultimate event of the season but couldn’t top Ko in the finale, ending up tied for fifth). However, there’s nothing that shows Korda, who is just 23, won’t have a similar-type season in 2022. Especially considering there will be far less travel (no Olympics, no Solheim Cup ), the best golfer in the world will now be able to have more opportunities for rest and recovery.

Korda — whose older sister, Jessica, also won on the LPGA Tour last season — was tops on Tour in scoring average, fifth in greens in regulation, seventh in driving distance, and 14th in putts per greens in regulation en route to notching 10 top-10 finishes in 17 events.

While sports fans are often starved for rivalries, Ko vs. Korda is as good as any on the course. Don’t expect a war-of-words to break out, though — they are also two of the kindest people on Tour.

Who are some other players to watch?

Lydia Ko plays the 2021 Open Championship at Carnoustie.

Calum Mackenzie/ Golffile.ie

One of the great things about the LPGA Tour — perhaps now more than any of the last five seasons — is that there are a handful of top golfers who could go on a hot streak at any point through the season.

Here are just a few others to keep an eye on this year.

• Lydia Ko — Won for the first time in three years in 2021 and zipped up to third in the world. Rejuvenated on-course effort thanks to work with Sean Foley.
• Yuka Saso — 19-year-old sensation won the U.S. Women’s Open in 2021 and catapulted herself into the top-10 in the world.
• Patty Tavatanakit — Another youngster who captured a major championship last year, Tavatanakit — who absolutely bombs it off the tee — won the 2021 Rookie of the Year award.
• Lexi Thompson — Hard to believe, but Thompson (who is just 26) hasn’t won on the LPGA Tour since 2019. Will this be the year she finds the winner's circle again?
• In Bee Park — The ‘Queen B’ is getting older (she’s 33) and has had to navigate a few injuries over the last couple of seasons. However, Park still won once last year, ended the year ranked fourth in the world, and was No. 1 on Tour in putting. If she stays healthy, she’ll continue to be a force in the women’s game.

Where are the 2022 women's majors played?

This year’s major championship roster is an impressive one.

• The Chevron Championship (formerly the ANA Inspiration) will be played at the Dinah Short Tournament Course at Mission Hills Country Club for the final time before it moves to the Houston area starting next year. This marks the 50th year of this particular major and expect a large, and deserved, send off. It will be played Mar. 31-Apr. 3 and have a $5 million purse. Patty Tavatanakit defends.
• The U.S. Women’s Open (June 2-5) will be contested at Pine Needles Lodge and Golf Club in North Carolina. The last time it was played there, in 2007, Cristie Kerr won her first of two major titles. This year’s U.S. Women’s Open will have a presenting sponsor for the first time (ProMedica Health) and with that the purse will increase by nearly 100 percent to $10 million (it was $5.5 million in 2021). Yuka Saso defends.
• The KPMG Women’s PGA Championship (June 23-26) heads to Congressional Country Club. It’s the first time the women will be teeing it up at Congressional, and it will return again to the storied Maryland layout in 2027. There will be a $4.5 million purse. Nelly Korda defends.
• The Amundi Evian Championship (July 21-24) will, per usual, be played at the Evian Resort Golf Club in France and there will be a $4.5 million purse. Minjee Lee defends.
• Perhaps the most notable of all the major championship venues for 2022 will be the AIG Women’s Open (Aug. 4-7) at Muirfield. Muirfield, which has hosted the men’s Open 16 times, was embroiled in controversy, and only first admitted female members in 2019. There will be a $6.8 million purse. Anna Nordqvist defends.

Tell me about the new LPGA commissioner

Former commissioner Mike Whan moved on last year to take the top job at the USGA (and he’s already made his presence felt, having helped to install the new sponsor for the U.S. Women’s Open along with the purse increase) and was replaced mid-year by former Director of Athletics at Princeton University Mollie Marcoux Samaan.

Samaan has a lengthy resume in sports and leadership and said at the CME Group Tour Championship that she’s gone through a hearty learning process in her first couple months on the job. She’ll now be charged with navigating the Tour’s exit from the COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing broadcast challenges (while there will be 500 hours of LPGA Tour golf broadcast, she said in November 2021 she was high on streaming opportunities and storytelling), and the diversity and inclusion opportunities that exist leading a women’s sports league.

Interestingly enough, Marcoux Samaan wrote her senior thesis on “The Social Construction of Sport and Gender: A History of Women’s Golf from 1895 to 1955.”

What are some new rules to aware of?

Brooke Henderson, the world's 10th-ranked player, is one of the Tour pros impacted by the new driver-length rule.

Kyle Terada-USA Today Sports

Things to keep an eye out for on the LPGA Tour this year include two key rule changes.

The first is the USGA’s new rule on driver length. While the reduction from 48 inches to 46 inches impacts fewer than 10 golfers on the LPGA Tour, one of those golfers is Brooke Henderson — ranked No. 10 in the world. Henderson has used a 48-inch driver since she was 15 and will have the biggest spotlight when the rule gets invoked on Tour in mid-March.

According to GolfWeek's Beth Ann Nichols , the LPGA Tour will also allow for non-members who finish in the top 10 in certain events (majors don’t count, neither does the team event or match- play event) earn the right to tee it up in the following week’s tournament. The PGA Tour has long had this rule, and many had called for it to be part of the LPGA Tour’s process, too.

How much prize money is up for grabs?

The winner of the U.S. Women’s Open will earn $1.8 million — more money than all but three players made for the entire 2021 LPGA Tour season. This is a prime example of how much money golfers on the LPGA Tour are now playing for, certainly as compared to years’ past.

The overall purse for the 34 events will be approximately $86 million , the largest total ever. Ten tournaments have announced purse increases with more “expected to be announced throughout the season,” according to a release from the Tour.

There will be swings through Florida, California, and Europe, while events are, for now, set to return to Asia and Canada after the COVID-19 pandemic caused plenty of scheduling problems.

Keep an eye out for the two fun events on the schedule as well this year. The DOW Great Lakes Invitational will, once again, be a team event, while the Bank of Hope LPGA Match-Play will return to Las Vegas’ Shadow Creek.

Finally, fans of the LPGA Tour may shortly be able to get more involved in betting.

The Tour’s daily stats and hole-by-hole data will be available to casinos and sportsbooks through some partners like BoyleSports, Tipsport, and bet365. This effort has been spearheaded by IMG Arena, which now owns the Tour’s official sports betting data and live streaming distribution rights.
