The LPGA, which celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2025, released its schedule Wednesday for the upcoming year, featuring 33 official events and a total prizemoney payout of more than $US131 million (approximately $201m), an all-time high.
The explanation for the increase was notable for what it means in the context of what the USGA is trying to do overall in elevating its biggest championship.
Robert MacIntyre’s RBC Canadian Open win with his dad caddieing for him is one of the best feel-good golf stories in recent memory. But a call home with his mother shortly after was just as awesome to watch.
