In coming to a close of the 2023 season, the CME Group Tour Championship is set to take place in Naples, Florida, showcasing the top 60 players in the Race to the CME Globe as they compete for a share of a $7 million purse, which includes a $2 million winner’s check—the largest first-place prize in women’s golf. Notably, the field consists of nine players in the top 10 of the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings and 22 of the 23 winners this season, including multiple-time champions such as Celine Boutier and Lilia Vu, U.S. Women’s Open winner Allisen Corpuz, and KPMG Women’s PGA champion Ruoning Yin.

This week at the CME Group Tour Championship, audiences can expect to see some exciting matchups, including Nelly Korda and Yuka Saso, Charley Hull and Hae Ran Ryu, and Celine Boutier and Lilia Vu. Nelly Korda, who won the 2021 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, will be competing for her first victory of the 2023 season. Similarly, Yuka Saso, who emerged victorious at the 2021 U.S. Women’s Open, will bring her impressive track record to the competition. Charley Hull, a past winner of the CME Group Tour Championship in 2016, is eager to add to her successes, alongside Hae Ran Ryu, who claimed the title of Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year after strong showings in several tournaments. Lastly, Celine Boutier, winner of the 2021 Amundi Evian Championship, and Lilia Vu, who has claimed four victories in the 2023 season, will be vying for top honors.

With a lineup of top-tier talent and some of the strongest contenders in women’s golf, the CME Group Tour Championship is expected to be an event to remember.
