With only four events remaining before the cutoff of the CME Group Tour Championship, it’s crunch time for players hoping to vie for the biggest check in women’s golf history. The top 60 players on the CME points list at the conclusion of The Annika driven by Gainbridge at Pelican will qualify for the season-ending event in Naples, Florida.
This year’s CME at Tiburon Golf Club will offer a purse of $11 million and a record $4 million winner’s check. Every player in the field will be awarded at least $55,000 at the 72-hole no-cut event.
Here’s a list of players who are currently on the bubble down the stretch (*in this week’s Maybank Championship field):
