What a week for Japanese star Rio Takeda.
Takeda outdueled Marina Alex in a six-hole playoff to win the 2024 Toto Japan Classic, her eighth victor this year on the JLPGA Tour and her first on the LPGA.
She is ranked No. 25 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings and because of her win at the TOTO Japan Classic, a co-sanctioned event with the LPGA and JLPGA Tours, she is eligible for LPGA membership. She is eligible to accept immediate membership or, similarly to Mone Inami after the 2023 TOTO Japan Classic, she can defer to the 2025 LPGA season.
If Takeda accepts immediate LPGA membership, she will earn $300,000 towards her official and career earnings on the LPGA this year.
Here’s a look at the prize money payouts for each player at the 2024 Toto Japan Classic from a purse of $2 million.
