Payday in Hawaii

If you were looking for signs that Australia’s Grace Kim was on the brink of her first career LPGA win, well, there weren’t many. In her two previous starts in the 2023 season, the rookie had missed a cut and finished T-59, earning a grand total of $4,460.
That all changed Saturday night as the 22-year-old shot a closing four-under 68 at Hoakalei Golf Club outside of Honolulu—with birdies on her last two holes—to get into a three-way playoff with Yu Liu and Yu Jin Sung, then birdied the first extra hole for the victory.
There are numerous spoils of being a first-time winner: She got the last entry into the upcoming Chevron Championship, the LPGA’s first major of 2023, and she jumped from 103rd to ninth in the Race to the CME Globe points standings.
And then there’s the prize money payout. Kim claimed $300,000 from the $2 million overall purse.
Here’s the prize money payouts for every golfer who made the cut this week in Hawaii.
