Evian Championship 2025: Record Prize Money Unveiled

The Excitement of the Amundi Evian Championship

The fourth major tournament of the LPGA Tour is currently in full swing at the Evian Resort Golf Club, drawing in fans who are eager to witness which golfer will claim the next prestigious title. This season has been anything but predictable, with seventeen events already held and each one crowned a different winner. Including the team competition, the Dow Championship, there have been eighteen distinct winners so far this year. Additionally, six players have secured their first victories, making it an exhilarating time for both fans and competitors.

The Amundi Evian Championship is expected to be just as thrilling, even though its prize money may not match that of other majors on the LPGA Tour. However, the purse remains impressive, with a total of $8 million up for grabs. The champion will take home $1.2 million, the same amount awarded to Ayaka Furue when she won her first and only major title last year.

Who Will Take the Title?

As the tournament progresses, several players are emerging as strong contenders. Minjee Lee, currently tied for third, is just one stroke behind the leader. She could potentially secure her second major of the season after winning the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship last month.

Another notable player is Attaya Thitikul, who recently claimed victory at the Mizuho Americas Open in New Jersey. She is also in a strong position, matching Lee's standing. So-Mi Lee, a South Korean golfer, is another potential winner, having just won the Dow Championship with Im Jin-hee. She too is at T3.

However, they will need to overcome Gabriela Ruffels and Cara Gainer, who delivered outstanding performances on day three to take the lead. With such a competitive field, the final day promises to be a nail-biter.
