The CME Group Tour Championship 2023 concluded on Sunday with Amy Yang lifting the trophy. The 34-year-old golfer beat the likes of Alison Lee and Nasa Hataoka to take her first victory on American soil. She bagged the $2,000,000 winner’s paycheck with the win at the Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida.

Yang carded in a 6-under 66 with birdies in her last two holes on Sunday to land her fifth LPGA Tour win. Having had an impressive final round, the veteran golfer stuck to her A-game in the final round and made a 10-foot birdie putt to finish off in style. Owing to the event’s $11,000,000 prize purse, the South Korean won the largest prize money payout in women's golf.
