How much did Minjee Lee win from the $1,750,000 Kroger Queen City Championship? Prize money payout explored

Minjee Lee won the 2023 Kroger Queen City Championship on Sunday. The 27-year-old Australian golfer carded a final-round 71 to tie with Charley Hull on 16-under 272. Lee beat Hull in a playoff to win her first LPGA title since the 2022 US Women's Open.

Lee, who is the 11th LPGA golfer, held her nerves at the Kenwood Country Club in Cincinnati to take the victory. With the win, the Aussie bagged a $300,000 prize money paycheck from the $1,750,000 purse. This took her career on-course earnings to over $13 million.

While Lee bagged the winner’s prize, Queen City Championship runner-up Hull settled for a $180,000 paycheck.
