With top players from around the world competing at Royal Porthcawl, the stakes are higher than ever.The event now stands as the third-richest on the women’s golf calendar, behind only the U.S. Women’s Open, which offered $12 million earlier this season, and the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, which featured a $10.4 million purse.This year’s total of the AIG Women’s Open at St. Andrews represents a $250,000 increase compared to last year's edition, continuing the rising payouts across women’s professional golf.Lottie Woad, who made headlines last week by winning the Women’s Scottish Open in her first professional start, comes into the AIG Women’s Open with strong momentum.
