How much did Lydia Ko win at the 2023 Aramco Saudi Ladies International? Prize money payouts explored

Lydia Ko won the 2023 Aramco Saudi Ladies International on Sunday. The New Zealand golfer made a strong start to her 2023 season by lifting the trophy at Royal Greens Golf and Country Club in King Abdullah Economic City, Saudi Arabia.

Ko, who clean-swept all the titles last year, looks focused on repeating the feat. The World No. 1 clinched her third victory in four Saudi Ladies International starts by beating India’s Aditi Ashok by one shot. Her 21-under 267 total was two better than Manon De Roey, Lexi Thompson, and Lilia Vu. Ko’s win at her first start of 2023 was nothing short of special.
