PGA Tour, LPGA pros to compete for $1M each in new challenge

PGA Tour and LPGA pros will be chasing new $1 million prizes with the introduction of the Aon Risk Reward Challenge.

Players will try to win the season-long competition based on scores recorded on their respective tour’s most challenging holes as part of a multi-year deal with Aon. The man and woman at the top of the Aon Risk Reward Challenge leaderboard at season’s end will each take home $1 million. The competition will stretch over 28 events for PGA Tour pros, 30 events for LPGA pros.

“The fact that Aon is providing equal prize money for the men (PGA Tour) and women (LPGA) has made a huge statement to our players, and we couldn’t be more appreciative,” LPGA commissioner Mike Whan said.
