Payday at Palos Verdes
Here's the prize money payout for each golfer at the 2023 DIO Implant L.A. Open

Ruoning Yin struggled during her rookie season on the LPGA Tour in 2022. In 16 starts she made just seven cuts, with just one finish inside the top 14 (T-4, Dana Open). But the 20-year-old turned all that into a distant memory on Sunday at Palos Verdes Golf Club. With a closing one-under 70, the native of China held off Georgia Hall to win the DIO Implant L.A. Open by a shot with a 72-hole score of 15-under 269 total.
Yin’s maiden LPGA victory makes her the second Chinese golfer in tour history to pull out a victory, joining the now retired Shanshan Feng. Yin is also the second first-time tour winner in 2023, joining Lilia Vu.
While her LPGA résumé might have been sparse, Yin has had plenty of success in her native China, winning her first three starts on the CLPGA after turning pro in 2020.
With the victory, Yin claimed the first-place prize money payout of $262,500 from an overall purse of $1.75 million. That more than doubled Yin’s career earnings on tour.
Here’s the prize money payout for each golfer who made the cut this week at the L.A. Open.
