The 2023 Chevron Championship concluded on Sunday with Lilia Vu lifting the trophy. The 25-year-old American won the first major of the LPGA season by beating Angel Yin in a playoff. Vu claimed her second LPGA title of the season and bagged the $765,000 winner’s share from the $5.1 million total purse.
Vu, who started off earning $3,830 in her first season on the LPGA in 2019, has over $2 million in career earnings. Apart from the prize money, the Chevron Championship winner also earned 600 points towards the season-long race to the CME Globe. She also bagged a five-year exemption on the LPGA Tour, with berths into other big tournaments.
Lilia Vu only made one cut during her rookie LPGA Tour season in 2019. 😳
Vu spent the 2020 and 2021 seasons on the @EpsonTour, where she won three times and re-qualified for the LPGA Tour. ⛳️
She's now won twice on Tour in 2023 and is a major champion. 🏆
