The CME Group Tour Championship at Tiburon Golf Club in Florida marked the closing chapter in the LPGA Tour's 2025 season.
The top 60 players from across the campaign had a shot at winning the Race To CME Globe as well as the handsome prize money, with $11m available at the tournament for the second year in a row.
A year ago, Jeeno Thitikul won the event to be named Race to CME Globe Champion, and she did it again, beating Pajaree Anannarukarn by four.
Pajaree Anannarukarn won $1m for her runner-up placing
That handed the Thai superstar prize money of $4m - a figure only matched in the history of the women's game at the same event a year earlier.
While Anannarukarn will be disappointed she couldn't put more pressure on her compatriot, she also heads away from Tiburon Golf Club significantly wealthier, having earned $1m.
Nelly Korda, who finished the season without a win, placed third at the tournament, earning her prize money of $550,000.
As a no-cut event, every member of the field received some percentage of the $11m purse, with six-figure sums handed out as far down the leaderboard as the top 10 and ties.

Even the player who finished at the foot of the leaderboard, Chanettee Wannasaen, leaves the event with an eye-catching payout of $55,000.
However, ultimately, the tournament was all about Thitikul, and not just because of her win. Following the event, she was also handed the Rolex Player of the Year trophy by LPGA Tour commissioner Craig Kessler, as well as the Vare Trophy, which is presented to the player with the lowest scoring average at the end of the season.
