LPGA donates $560,000 to heartwarming cause with earnings from St. Jude

The LPGA Tour donated around $560,000 to a heartwarming cause in 2024. The circuit collaborated with CME Group to support the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital by raising money through hole-in-one achievements on the LPGA Tour.

For every hole-in-one in LPGA Tour events, the circuit donates $20,000 to support the children of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

In 2024, the Tour has thus far recorded a total of 28 holes-in-one, raising an impressive $560,000. This heartwarming initiative began in 2018, and since then, 309 holes-in-one have been recorded on the circuit, with approximately $2,920,000 raised in total.
