The ANA Inspiration is the first LPGA major of the year and in 2021, it’s a 21-year-old taking home the trophy, the robe (after jumping into Poppie’s Pond) and the first-place check for $465,000.
Patty Tavatanakit shot a final-round 68 to cap off a wire-to-wire finish for not only her first major but her first LPGA victory. But it wasn’t without suspense, as Lydia Ko fired the lowest final-round LPGA major score ever with a 62.
Check out the final money payout from the 2021 ANA Inspiration. You can also see the LPGA’s all-time money list here.
