CME Group Tour Championship: What to watch in the LPGA season finale

NAPLES, Fla. -- After 32 official events, 15 states and 12 countries, the 2019 LPGA Tour season comes to an end this week at the CME Group Tour Championship at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida. From rookies winning majors (looking at you, Jeongeun Lee6) to Team Europe clinching the Solheim Cup, this season had it all.

After months of competing in the season-long Race to the CME, the top 60 points earners will compete for the $5 million purse and the $1.5 million winner's check, the largest single prize in the history of women's golf.

Last year, American Lexi Thompson shot a final-round 70 to finish at 18-under 270 and win the CME Group Tour Championship by four strokes over Nelly Korda.
