CME Group Tour Championship: Field, tee times, and groups for the LPGA Tours season finale

Published: 15 November 2023 Last updated: 15 November 2023

The LPGA Tour will conclude this week at Tiburon Golf Club with the CME Group Tour Championship

The LPGA Tour concludes this week at the CME Group Tour Championship, but who’s playing, and what’s up for grabs?

It has been a scintillating season on the LPGA Tour, with record prize money, a record number of first-time winners, Rose Zhang became the first LPGA Tour to win on her debut since Beverly Hanson in 1951, and so many more records smashed. What will this week at the CME Group Tour Championship have in store for us?

Heading into the season finale, Solheim Cup hero Celine Boutier sits at the top of the tree with 3076.983 points. The French superstar has risen to the top of the Race to the CME Globe Rankings following an impressive 2023 season. However, she isn’t as far clear as Rory McIlroy is in the Race to Dubai Rankings ahead of the DP World Tour Championship .

The nearest competitor to Celine Boutier is Lilia Vu . The American has notched up 2,981.968 points following four wins this season, two of which are Major Championships. Following Vu’s most recent victory at the ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican, she’ll be hoping for back-to-back wins to finish the season as the victor of the season-long Race to the CME Globe.

Despite Boutier and Vu both having incredible seasons, there are still 58 other players with a chance of winning the Tour Championship and ending the season as champions of the Race to the CME Globe. All 60 players in the field will fancy their chances at walking away with the $2 million cheque for first place.

Where is the CME Group Tour Championship being played?

The 33rd and final regular season event of the LPGA Tour season is held at Tiburón Golf Club in Naples, Florida. The CME Group Tour Championship will be played on the Gold Course at Tiburón Golf Club.

Both courses at Tiburón Golf Club, the Gold Course, and the Black Course, are Greg Norman-designed courses. This will be the eleventh consecutive time the Gold Course at Tiburón Golf Club will have hosted the CME Group Tour Championship.

The Gold Course measures 6,556 yards for the tournament. The par-72 course is littered with unique stacked sod wall bunkers and coquina shell waste bunkers. The most punishing hazard the players have to negotiate on the Golf Course is water – a feature on fifteen holes.

The course record is held by the 2022 CME Group Tour Championship victor, Lydia Ko . In 2016, when the New Zealander was bidding for her second win in the tournament, she carded a 10-under par, 62. This score remains the best recorded at this tournament.

Who is playing in the CME Group Tour Championship?

The Tour Championship will be contested by the top 60 players in the Race to the CME Globe Rankings including 17 of the top 20 in the Rolex Rankings .

Eleven members of the 2023 USA Solheim Cup Team will tee it up in Naples, with only 2018 tournament champion and 2017 Race to the CME Globe winner, Lexi Thompson not making the 60-player cut. Of the twelve Europeans that won the 2023 Solheim Cup in Spain, ten will be battling to win in Florida. The two from Europe missing out are Emily Kristine Pedersen and Caroline Hedwall .

Who will win the CME Group Tour Championship?

Since 2013, the event has been held at Tiburón Golf Club, Gold Course. The previous ten tournaments have been won by eight different golfers (only Lydia Ko and Jin Young Ko have won it twice).

This course sets up well for golfers with distance off the tee, score well on par-4s, get up and down from the sand, and gain strokes on the field in putting and approach play. With that in mind, certain players to look out for are the bookies’ favorite Atthaya Thitikul (11/1), World No.6 Nelly Korda (14/1), World No.4 Jin Young Ko (16/1), and World No.8 Charley Hull (25/1)

Selected others

Lilia Vu 12/1

Minjee Lee 14/1

Celine Boutier 18/1

Megan Khang 22/1

Ruoning Yin 22/1

Rose Zhang 25/1

Leona Maguire 33/1

Ariya Jutanugarn 50/1

Sei Young Kim 66/1

How much prize money is on offer at the CME Group Tour Championship?

Players will compete for a share of the $7 million purse, with the winner taking home $2 million. This is the biggest payday on the LPGA Tour away from the Major Championships.

CME Group Tour Championship: Tee Times and Groups

Lilia Vu and Celine Boutier will be the last pair to tee off on day one, teeing off at 12.35 EST (17.35 GMT)

LPGA Tour – Race to the CME Globe Rankings

Going into the season-ending Tour Championship, Celine Boutier has amassed an outstanding number of points from her 21 events this season, to have a commanding lead over the chasing pack. Lilia Vu in second, sits less than 100 points behind Boutier having played three fewer events. China’s Ruoning Yin is a further 532.685 points behind Boutier, in third. This would mean that if the winner was to achieve the 500 points given out for wins in the regular season, only Lilia Vu and Celine Boutier would be fighting it out for the top spot.

However, following a change in 2019, the winner of the CME Group Tour Championship is automatically crowned champion of the Race to the CME Globe. For Boutier and Vu this could cause heartbreak, but for Ruoning and the 57 other golfers in pursuit, it means that everything is still to play for.

Tournament Highlights – CME Group Tour Championship 2023

Tiger Woods ‘Will Target’ Majors in 2018

Here are all the key details you need to know about what happened in the 2023  CME Group Tour Championship , including how Amy Yang won and insights about the course.

Tiburon Golf Club, Naples, Fla.

6,556; par 72

Tournament Record

261 – Amy Yang (2023)

Tournament Insight

The CME Group Tour Championship, which has been held since 2014, is the season-ending event on the LPGA Tour and the culmination of the Race to the CME Globe. The top 60 on the season-long points list qualify for the event, with the winner of the tournament declared the CME Globe champion. The tournament is also the final event in determining the Player of the Year Award, which is based on a season-long points list, and the Vare Trophy for scoring average. The event is played annually at Tiburon Golf Club. 

Course Insight

Tiburon Golf Club has two courses, the Gold and the Black, which opened in 1998 and 2001, respectively. Both were designed by Greg Norman (Australia’s “Great White Shark”); Tiburon is Spanish for shark. The semi-private club features the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort hotel on the property. The CME Group Tour Championship is played on the Gold Course. The layout features waste areas and native grasses but no conventional rough. There are water hazards on nearly every hole, with trees on many holes and stacked-sod bunkers guarding the greens adding to the challenge. The fourth and fifth holes wrap around a lake, the fifth a par 3 with a peninsula green jutting into the water. The 18th is a long par 4 with a deep fairway bunker to the right and water to the left making it a demanding driving hole. The Gold Course also hosts the Grant Thornton Challenge, a new mixed-team event with PGA TOUR and LPGA pros, and the Black Course hosts the Chubb Classic on PGA TOUR Champions. 

How Amy Yang won in 2023

Amy Yang holed an 80-yard shot for an eagle on the par-4 13th hole of the final round to dramatically move from one behind to one ahead, then finished with birdies on 17 and 18 to win by three strokes. South Korea’s Yang began the final round tied for first with Nasa Hataoka of Japan. Hataoka jumped to a three-stroke lead through five holes before Yang rallied. After Yang’s eagle, Hataoka birdied the 14th to get back into a tie but bogeyed 16 before Yang’s strong finish gave her a closing 66. Alison Lee had a 66 to tie Hataoka for second. Yang shot middle rounds of 63-64 to move into her share of the lead. The victory was the fifth LPGA title of her career, but the first in five years for the 34-year-old. 

• Yang’s victory was her first in the U.S. She previously won three LPGA events in Thailand and one in South Korea. 
• Yang’s winning total of 27-under 261 was a tournament record, breaking the mark of 23-under 265 set by Jin-Young Ko in 2021. 
• Hataoka shared the lead after each of the first three rounds, ultimately finishing as runner-up at the event for the second time in three years.  
• Lilia Vu finished fourth in the tournament and claimed the Player of the Year Award after a season that included four victories, two of them in majors. Vu was the first U.S. player to win the award since Stacy Lewis in 2014. 
• Thailand’s Atthaya Thitikul captured the Vare Trophy for the lowest scoring average during the season at 69.533, despite not winning a tournament during the year. She entered the CME Group Tour Championship just .013 ahead of Hyo Joo Kim and stayed ahead by finishing fifth while Kim was T13.

Share All sharing options for: KPMG Women’s PGA Championship: A breakthrough for Amy Yang results in her 1st major victory

Amy Yang is finally a major champion. After 75 starts and 16 years on the LPGA , she won the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship by four shots.

She carded an even-par 72 on Sunday to finish at 7-under for the tournament.

“It’s incredible,” Yang said after her win.

“I was so nervous at the beginning of the day, even the night before, and I told Jan [Meierling] on the 18th fairway that this had been the longest 18 holes I have ever played in my career.”

The 34-year-old has come close so many times in different majors but could never get over the hump. She entered the week with 21 Top-10s and 12 top-5s in majors. Last year, Yang even tied for fourth twice.

Throughout the round on Sunday, doubt lurked in the back of her mind, but it eventually subsided.

“I think I managed to stay well and stay positive, and of course, with him as well, he makes things light out there,” she said.

“You know, at one point, I thought, will I ever win a major championship before I retire? And I finally did it, and it’s just amazing.”

Yang came into the final round with a two-shot lead but extended it right away with a birdie on the par-4 1st.

She then dropped a shot on the third but added two more birdies on her front nine to keep the momentum. Another bogey came at the 10th, but Yang bounced back with two birdies over the next three holes.

The major championship pressure must have hit her down the stretch, though. Yang bogeyed 16 and double-bogeyed the 17th, but she had a large enough lead so that she did not have to sweat those three dropped shots.

“I’ve learned so many times—focus on what I can control on the golf course and keep doing what I’ve been doing,” Yang said.

“I told myself maybe more than a thousand times out there, do what I prepared and what you’ve been doing at practice.”

She made par on the 18th to beat Lilia Vu, Jin Young Ko, and Miyu Yamashita by three.

Many people gave her a champagne shower on the 18th green to congratulate her on the big victory.

The crowd waiting for her was massive. Throughout her career, Yang has become one of the more popular players among the other ladies and caddies.

She finally got over the hump, but she took the time to reflect on everything.

“Golf is really like a fight against myself,” Yang said. “I proved to myself that I can compete and do this, so it was a good learning week.”

Yang now has six LPGA victories under her belt after she won the 2023 CME Group Tour Championship last year. This breakthrough victory could be massive for her as two majors are left in the women’s season.

Mobbed by friends and competitors, amy yang gets first major victory at 2024 kpmg women's pga championship, share this article.

SAMMIMISH, Wash. – They gathered around the 18th green, giddy with excitement. It was a who’s who of former No. 1 players and major winners. Some were new to the tour. Others have grown up out here. Most were from South Korea, but not all. LPGA commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan was in the middle of the group at Sahalee Country Club, taking pictures and organizing the champagne. At one point, a mortified A Lim Kim ran onto the green to pick up a champagne cork that had popped off prematurely.

When it comes to popular winners, it’s hard to imagine anyone getting a bigger group hug from her peers than Amy Yang. The 34-year-old nearly retired a short time ago but held on to win the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in her 75th major championship start.

“I told (caddie) Jan on the 18th fairway, this has been the longest 18 holes I ever played in my career,” said a relieved Yang. “I was that much stressed and felt pressure out there.”

Yang shivered as she walked into the flash area, her clothes soaked from the bubbly affair. The last time the LPGA has seen an 18th green celebration quite so epic was the last time Yang lifted a trophy at the CME Group Tour Championship in November.

“I think it just speaks to what kind of person she is,” said Lydia Ko, who was joined by the likes of Jin Young Ko, Brooke Henderson, Hyo Joo Kim and Haeran Ryu on the 18th. “I said she’s one of the or the nicest person on tour. And when she says stuff it’s genuine.

“All these people aren’t here just for show. Everybody means it.”

It wasn’t just the players who embraced Yang. More than an hour after the last putt dropped at Sahalee, dozens of kids were outside the press area chanting her name.

Washington’s Sahalee Country Club once again proved to be a punishing test, taking out World No. 1 Nelly Korda in dramatic fashion on Friday with a gut-wrenching 81. Through 54 holes, it looked like Lexi Thompson might script something magical, but retirement suddenly looked awfully good on Sunday after a baffling front-nine 43.

Thompson dug deep though, coming home in 31 to salvage a top-10 finish that gets her an invitation back to the KPMG next year, should she want it.

“It was just a tale of two nines,” said Thompson, who was still fairly upbeat after the round.

“I hit a great shot on 9 and really just tried to stay positive with my caddie, Mark. He was just drilling in the positive comments, even being 8-over through 8, which it’s pretty hard to find the positive. He was trying. God bless him.”

Yang began the final round with a two-stroke lead over JLPGA star Miyu Yamashita and Lauren Hartlage, who has spent more time at Q-School than major championships. Hartlage went 34 holes without a bogey to put herself in contention but fell out of the mix after back-to-back doubles on Nos. 7 and 8.

She ultimately finished in a share of fifth, a career-best LPGA showing, and earned more money in one week ($378,447) than she had in 2 ½ years on tour.

“I learned that even though I’m uncomfortable, I can still play good golf,” said Hartlage, who learned the game from her mom, Kim. “Because it’s hard when you’re out there. There is a lot of stress, a lot of emotions. I’m just proud of the way I handled those all week.”

Yamashita’s share of second with Jin Young Ko and Lilia Vu will likely be enough to earn her a spot in the Paris Olympics alongside two-time U.S. Women’s Open winner Yuka Saso of Japan. The Olympics field will be finalized on Monday.

Vu, who won last week’s Meijer LPGA Classic after being sidelined two months with a back injury, is once again showing the kind of form that won her four titles last season, including a pair of majors.

Ally Ewing’s share of fifth likely won’t be enough to propel her into the top 15 of the Rolex Rankings. She’s projected to come just shy of a spot on the U.S. Olympic team which will include Korda, Vu and Rose Zhang.

Yang made an appearance on Golf Channel’s “Golf Central” show after the victory and her jaw dropped to the floor when the show’s hosts told her she’d qualified for Paris.

It was a monumental day for a woman who first dreamed of playing on the LPGA after watching Se Ri Pak win the 1998 U.S. Women’s Open.

As Yang met with the media after her round, the oversized trophy sat beside her on a pedestal. When LPGA Championship morphed into the KPMG Women’s PGA a decade ago, the trophy stayed the same but the base got bigger, much like the event itself.

“I see Seri’s name right there, 1998,” said Yang, pointing to the LPGA Championship victory that came just before the playoff triumph at Blackwolf Run that inspired a nation.

The first time Jan Meierling walked Sahalee earlier this week, he thought it might be a good track for his boss. The roughly 7,500 trees on property – which are both breathtaking and claustrophobic – make it impossible to daydream. Meierling said Yang can get a little “space-cadet-y” out there and liked that Sahalee forced her to stay focused.

“The more she gets in engaged, the more the situation demands of it of her, that’s when she kind of goes into auto-pilot,” said Meierling, “and she does what she does best.”

There was a point during Sunday’s final round that Yang led by seven. The coronation slowed, however, after a bogey on the 16th was followed by a watery tee shot on the par-3 17th that led to double.

Yang suddenly led by three with one to play.

On the closing par 5, Meierling tried to advise against Yang pulling 3-wood for her second shot, but ultimately didn’t push the subject. He’d run through his mind the various scenarios, including blowing it into the bleachers, and decided it was better to let her run with it.

Yang’s ball sailed through the giant Christmas tree down the lefthand side, and she pitched up and two-putted to close with an even-par 72 and finish at 7 under, three strokes clear of the field.

That’s when it felt like half the LPGA rushed the green, giving her a champagne bath for the ages.

“Amy is the best,” said Lindy Duncan, who for the past four years has played golf in Orlando during the off weeks with Yang and Lydia Ko at Bay Hill, Orange Tree and Lake Nona.

“She’s just the best. Genuine, kind, caring, always a good friend. You ask her questions, and she just wants to help everybody.”

Yang’s short game at Sahalee was next-level elite. She led the field in scrambling, strokes gained tee-to-green and bogeys or worse with seven.

A winner on the LET as a 16-year-old amateur, Yang was a prodigy before many of the players who celebrated had her ever picked up a club. After a rock-climbing injury left her with an elbow injury, she thought her career might come to an early close. Instead, the now six-time LPGA winner is enjoying the biggest moments – and paychecks – of her career. She’s now won $3.56 million for her last two victories, surpassing $15 million in career earnings.

Perhaps most shockingly, she’s the first South Korean to win on tour this season.

Coming down the 18th fairway, Yang turned to Meierling and told him that the next time he hears her say she doesn’t love this game – it’s a lie. For her, the imperfections are what make it so brilliant.

“I thought about this out on the golf course today,” said Yang, “that golf is really just like a fight against myself.”

And this time, she finally won.

Amy Yang wins KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, clinches Olympic spot with victory

Amy Yang won the first major of her career Sunday, routing the field at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.

Yang, 34, won by three strokes at the tree-lined, narrow Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish, Wash. The course featured exceptionally tight fairways, but the South Korean star shot rounds of 70, 68, 71 and 72 for the victory.

She had a six-shot lead entering the final three holes but bogeyed the par-4 16th and then put her tee shot on the par-3 17th into the water that defended the front of the green. Yang double-bogeyed the hole but still had a three-shot lead heading to the 72nd hole. She had a look at a birdie putt on the par-5 18th hole but settled for a tap-in par before being doused in champagne by her friends on the LPGA Tour.

“I always wanted to win a major and I came close several times and I started doubting myself, if I was ever going to win a major before I retire,” Yang told NBC. “I’m so grateful and very, very happy to win a major.”

Jin Young Ko, Miyu Yamashita and Lilia Vu finished in a tie for second at 4-under-par.

Yang had top-five finishes at the 2023 Chevron Championship and Women’s Open Championship and also won the CME Group Tour Championship last year. She had not had a good 2024 — she missed the cut in three of her last four starts and had her last top-25 finish in February. With the win, she has clinched a spot representing the Republic of Korea at the Olympics .

But Yang emerged quickly this week in Washington as a top contender, sharing the lead going into the weekend and taking a two-shot advantage into the final round against a pair of competitors seeking their first LPGA win, period. Yamashita and Lauren Hartlage both shot final-round 74s, the latter tying with Ally Ewing for fifth place at 3-under.

Lexi Thompson, the first-round leader after shooting a 68, finished in a tie for ninth at 1-under-par. She balanced out a terrible front-nine 43 on Sunday with a back-nine 31.

Three golfers have now won the first three majors of the year — Nelly Korda won April’s Chevron Championship and Yuka Saso won the U.S. Women’s Open earlier this month.

International Golf Federation Announces 60 Qualifiers for Women’s Olympic Golf Competition

2024 paris olympics: check out who is competing in the women's golf competition at le golf national.

• press-release

Final women’s Olympic Golf Ranking published as qualification period concludes

LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND  (Tuesday, 25 June 2024) – The two-year qualification period for the women’s golf competition at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games has concluded with today’s publication of the final women’s Olympic Golf Ranking.

The women’s Olympic Golf Ranking features 60 qualifiers representing 33 different countries. The United States of America (Nelly Korda, Lilia Vu and Rose Zhang) and the Republic of Korea (Jin Young Ko, Amy Yang and Hyo Joo Kim) are the only countries with more than two qualifiers.

The women’s qualification period for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games began on 24 June 2022 and concluded following the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship on 23 June 2024. The top 15 world-ranked players were eligible for the Olympics, with a limit of four players from a given country. Beyond the top 15, players were eligible based on the Rolex Women’s World Golf Ranking, with a maximum of two eligible players from each country that did not already have two or more players among the top 15. The host country – France – was guaranteed at least one spot, as is each of the five continents of the Olympics. Two women qualified to represent Team France at Paris 2024 based on their top-60 finish in the final women’s Olympic Golf Ranking: Celine Boutier (No. 6 in the Olympic Golf Ranking) and Perrine Delacour (No. 30 in the Olympic Golf Ranking).

This summer’s competition marks the fifth time golf has been featured as an Olympic sport and just the third time since 1904. Fifteen women have the opportunity to compete in their third consecutive women’s Olympic golf competition: Aditi Ashok of India, Carlota Ciganda of Spain, Brooke Henderson of Canada, Lydia Ko of New Zealand, Minjee Lee of Australia, Xiyu Lin of China, Gaby Lopez of Mexico, Nanna Koerstz Madsen of Denmark, Leona Maguire of Ireland, Stephanie Meadow of Ireland, Azahara Munoz of Spain, Alena Sharp of Canada, Klara Davidson Spilkova of the Czech Republic, Mariajo Uribe of Colombia and Albane Valenzuela of Switzerland.

With the women’s Olympic Golf Ranking finalised, the International Golf Federation (IGF) will send confirmation of the men’s and women’s quota places to the National Olympic Committees. The NOCs will then confirm use of allocated quota places to the IGF by 27 June and the IGF, in turn, will reallocate all unused quota places before the Paris 2024 Sport Entries Deadline on July 8.

The IGF will publish a finalised field list for both the men’s and women’s golf competitions on Tuesday, 9 July. The women’s Olympic golf competitions will take place 7-10 August at Le Golf National.
