How much money did Lydia Ko win at the CME Group Tour Championship 2022? Total payouts explored

In a historic run, Lydia Ko won $2 million, the biggest prize money check in LPGA history at the 2022 CME Group Tour Championship. The 25-year-old finished 17 overall to grab the title, two strokes ahead of Leona Maguire.

The $2 million winner's check was 28.57 percent of the overall $7 million purse, which is a far greater winner's percentage on the LPGA Tour as compared to the usual 15 percent allocated to winners.

This was even more than the $1.8 million earned by Minjee Lee by clinching both the US Women's Open and Aon Risk Reward Challenge this year.

With three LPGA Tour wins this season, Lydia Ko has won $4,364,403 total this season, falling just $591 short of Lorena Ochoa who tops the single-season earnings record with $4,364,994 in 2007.

This also helped Lydia Ko move up to fifth on the career earnings list, surpassing Suzann Pettersen ($14,837,579) and Lorena Ochoa ($14,863,331) with $16,695,357 in official earnings.

Lydia Ko also won the LPGA Player of the Year award for the second time along with the Vare Trophy for the second consecutive season to end the year with the lowest scoring average. Lydia Ko is now just two points short of the required 27 points to be inducted into the LPGA Hall of Fame.

Meanwhile, the runner-up, Maguire finished 15 under overall to take home $5,50,000 from the $7 million prize money purse.
