The 2025 FM Championship at TPC Boston, held August 28–31, stands out as one of the most lucrative non-major events on the LPGA Tour. With a total purse of $4.1 million–a $300,000 increase over the previous year; it’s now the richest full-field tournament outside the majors.
This consistent increase is part of a five-year commitment by the tournament’s organizers, with a goal of reaching a $5 million purse by 2028. For players and fans alike, the growing stakes add both financial heft and heightened competitive drama to the LPGA calendar.
Substantial Winner’s Share and Deep Pay Scale
Amid that $4.1 million juggernaut, the victory payoff is especially notable. Miranda Wang, a rookie, claimed the top paycheck of $615,000, a sum that places her among the highest single-tournament payouts outside the majors.
Beyond the winner, the payout structure ensures that at least the top eight finishers–everyone on track–walk away with six-figure payouts. This tiered structure underscores strong incentivization across the leaderboard: from a healthy second-place cut of around $378,000, to deep-field rewards that matter.

Value-Added Player Benefits
The FM Championship doesn’t stop at direct payouts. All players making the cut receive accommodations, meals, and travel covered by the tournament–plus a $1,000 stipend for those who miss the cut. On top of that, winners rake in 500 Race to the CME Globe points, enhancing their positioning on the season-long money and points races.
For rookies and veterans alike, these perks represent both tangible financial gains and strategic opportunities. A paycheck plus ranking points and logistical relief can make a career-defining difference; especially for rising names like Wang.
This growth in prize money isn’t isolated. Its rise mirrors a broader surge in LPGA tournament values, signaling greater investment and visibility in women’s golf. The FM Championship, although new (established 2024), swiftly became a marquee event thanks to its substantial purse and player-friendly structure.
As LPGA purses grow, players gain more reason to compete globally and consistently, while fans get to witness the stakes (and the swings) rise in excitement.
