2025 Ford Championship prize money payouts for each LPGA player at Whirlwind Golf Club
The LPGA returned to the U.S. for the first time since early February with the 2025 Ford Championship just outside Phoenix. The $2.25 million purse marked the first time for some in the field of 144 to earn a paycheck in more than a month.
The winner at Whirlwind Golf Club earned $337,500. A total of 74 players made the cut.
While Hyo Joo Kim made the headlines with her playoff victory, it was a meaningful week for a player like Lindy Duncan, who has struggled at times to keep her card in recent years but posted an early top-5 finish to set herself up well for the rest of the year.
LPGA Hall of Famer Lydia Ko continued her march to the top of the all-time money list with her T-6 showing, good for a $58,674 payday. Ko came into the week trailing all-time leader Annika Sorenstam by $1,988,588.
Here's the breakdown of how much money each player earned at the LPGA Ford Championship.

Akie Iwai wins Portland Classic to join twin sister Chisato as rookie LPGA Tour champion
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Akie Iwai joined twin sister Chisato as a rookie LPGA Tour winner Sunday at Columbia Edgewater, closing with a 6-under 66 for a four-stroke victory in The Standard Portland Classic. Akie Iwai capped the bogey-free round with birdies on the final two holes, running in an 18-footer on the last before Chisato rushed on the green and sprayed her with champagne. The 23-year-old Japanese player broke through in her first season on the LPGA Tour after winning six times on the JLPGA Tour. She had second-place finishes in Thailand in February and Los Angeles in April, then watched her sister win at Mayakoba in May in Mexico. On Sunday, Chisato Iwai shot a 64 to tie for third, five strokes back. The winner finished at 24-under 264 on the tree-lined course. She opened with consecutive 67s, then shot a 64 on Saturday to take a two-stroke lead into the final round. American Gurleen Kaur was a career-best second, closing with a 65. Linn Grant of Sweden had a 67 to join Chisato Iwai at 19 under. Grace Kim of Australia was 18 under after a 70. Amateur Kiara Romero shot a 64 to tie for seventh at 16 under in her first tour start. The University of Oregon player won the 2023 U.S. Girls' Junior and 2025 Big Ten title. 'It feels great to just play really well my first LPGA event,' Romero said.' Kind of gives me a lot of confidence going into the school year... All the Ducks fans are out here. So, we had a big crowd and a lot of people cheering me on, so it meant a lot to put a good week.' The tournament is the longest continuous event on the LPGA Tour except for the majors, dating to 1972. ___ AP golf:
