Description The CME Group Tour Championship is a women's professional golf tournament, the season-ending event of the LPGA Tour. It succeeded the LPGA Tour Championship, which was played for two seasons in 2009 and 2010. From 2011 to 2013 the tournament was called the CME Group Titleholders. The tournament has a limited field of 60 players. The event is currently televised by Golf Channel and NBC.
In 2014 the LPGA Tour introduced a season-long points race, the Race to the CME Globe, and a $1 million bonus. The CME Group Tour Championship marked the end of this season-long "Race". Each player's season-long "Race to the CME Globe" points were "reset" before the tournament based on their position in the points list. "Championship points" were then awarded to the top 40 players in the CME Group Tour Championship which were added to their "reset points" to determine the overall winner of the "Race to the CME Globe".
Ko showed why she’s held the top spot for 73 consecutive weeks with a birdie barrage on the back nine at Tiburon Golf Club for a final-round 66 to finish at 18-under-par 270, five strokes ahead of Kim and Hannah Green. Mina Harigae was fourth at 276 with Lexi Thompson and Lydia Ko at 277.
The $1.1 million first prize – the largest in the women’s game – gave Ko the LPGA Tour money title at $1,667,925 – even though she played only four LPGA events in the COVID-19 abbreviated season during which she spent the bulk of the year isolating in South Korea.
