Dame Lydia Ko is by every metric one of the greatest women’s golfers in history and therefore one of the sport’s top earners.
The 27-year-old Aucklander is ranked as the No 2 player in the world, behind American star Nelly Korda, and sits third on another list – but could see herself at the top, should she repeat her historic form of 2024.
The LPGA Tour Money/Finishes list totals Ko’s official career earnings at $35,792,258 from 248 events since turning pro in 2014, just $115,735 behind Australian legend Karrie Webb, who sits second, in 249 fewer tournaments.
Sweden’s Annika Sörenstam, whose 96 international professional wins are the most in women’s golf history, is clear at the top of the list with $39,946,487 in official earnings in 307 events, $4,154,229 ahead of Ko.
This list does not include endorsements or unofficial appearance fees. Ko is listed as having made $1,443,357 in unofficial earnings.
