It is expected that the 2022 Amundi Evian Championship purse is estimated at $6.5 million and the share of the winner being $975,000which is the standard 15 percent amount as per the LPGA Tour’s prize money distribution chart.
The focus is shifting from men to women because this week’s Evian Championship takes centre stage this week.
The fourth of five women’s majors is scheduled to take place in Evian in France, with Jennifer Kupcho, Minjee Lee and Chun In-gee all in the running for the second major of the season.
Kupcho is in top form as she team with Lizette Salas to take a rout victory at the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational over the time in the LPGA Tour.
The Amundi Evian Championship field is led by Nelly Korda, Jin Young Ko, Jennifer Kupcho, Lydia Ko and many more.
Anna Nordqvist also arrives in France following winning, after the Swede was the winner of in the Big Green Egg Open in the Netherlands on the Ladies European Tour.
Minjee Lee has fond memories of the match, when she battled back from seven strokes down to beat Jeongeun’s Lee 6 in a play-off twelve months ago.
Like you’d expect from majors, this is an elite field. It is the only case that Lexi Thompson, who was beaten to death by Chun In-gee during the Women’s PGA Championship last month and is not in the world’s top 10.
Jin Young Ko arrives as the world’s No. 1 but there is a process of learning because this will be her first appearance at Evian race, while Nelly Korda is trying to work her way back into form following injuries and is competing to be the first choice.
