Jeeno Thitikul won the CME Group Tour Championship to surpass Nelly Korda's season earnings. Thitikul took home a $4 million paycheck for winning the final tournament of the season, the largest paycheck in the history of women's golf.

The matter has been the talk of the golf world because of the stark difference between Korda's results and those of Thitikul. The American won seven LPGA Tour events in 2024, while the Thai won two, including the CME Group Tour Championship.
