There were many nights when Bailey Tardy wondered if it might be time get a new job. She’d missed more cuts than she’d made at the start of her rookie season last year. And it had already taken a long time to even get to the LPGA.
“It’s expensive being out here,” said Tardy. “I wasn’t making any money. I’m 27, so it’s kind of like either you make it or you go get a job.”
A $482,136 paycheck for a fourth-place finish at the U.S. Women’s Open at Pebble, however, provided much-needed breathing room. Now, after securing her first victory in China at the Blue Bay LPGA, that bank account looks especially strong after a $330,000 payday.
Tardy has now amassed $911,491 in official career earnings on the LPGA.
This marked the first event on the Asian swing this season to feature a cut. A total of 66 players earned a paycheck on Hainan Island.
Here’s how much money each player earned at the 2024 Blue Bay LPGA.
