The gold medalist from the Paris Olympics won the year's final major at the Old Course at St. Andrews.
The Women's Open is being staged at one of golf's crown jewels, and offered a prize fund worthy of the occasion.
The Open this week is at the Old Course at St. Andrews, and it's offering a $9.5 million total prize purse, a record for the event. The winner will receive $1.425 million. The purse is a $500,000 jump from the 2023 event and continues a trend in boosted prize money at the event. In 2018, the total purse was $3.25 million.
Lydia Ko is taking home the big check, winning by two shots to claim her third major title. She won the women's Olympic gold medal in golf earlier this month, the final point she needed for the LPGA Hall of Fame.
