FM Championship Prize Money Payout 2024

After several tournaments in Europe in recent weeks, the LPGA Tour is returning to the US for the inaugural FM Championship at TPC Boston.

There, the field will compete for the biggest purse in a regular event on the LPGA Tour  so far this season, $3.8m.

That’s thanks to the July announcement that sponsor, commercial property insurer FM, had added $300,000 to the payout. Not only that but over the course of the five-year partnership, the purse will increase each year until it eventually reaches $5m.

This year’s figure surpasses the previous highest for a regular event on the LPGA Tour so far this season, $3.75m at the JM Eagle LA Championship . The winner will earn $570,000.

Unusually, for those missing the cut, there will also be a stipend of $1,000 while there is complimentary hotel accommodation for the players.

As well as the prize money, there are also 500 Race to the CME Globe points on offer to this week’s winner.

Below is the prize money breakdown for the FM Championship.
