The top 60 women’s professional golfers will be in Naples this week for the CME Group Tour Championship, the final event of the 2024 LPGA Tour season.
The tournament, which runs Thursday through Sunday at Tiburón Golf Club, features an $11 million purse with a record $4 million first-place check, the largest single prize in women’s sports history.
