Round 1, Round 2, Round 3


England's Charley Hull finished second behind Sei Young Kim at the CME Group Tour Championship despite a blistering finish in Florida.

The 23-year-old hit six birdies in an impressive final round six-under 66, but was just pipped to what would have been her second LPGA Tour title.

Kim made a 25-foot birdie on the final hole to secure the richest prize in the history of women's golf, US$1.5million (ยฃ1,167,300), as a closing 70 saw her finish 18 under par for the week.


Hull had gone into the week ranked 51st and without a top-10 finish since May, but the Solheim Cup star produced a strong performance.

Hull finished with a hat-trick of birdies, which looked to have earned her a play-off place before Kim matched her gain at the last.

"I gave it my best shot," Hull told the LPGA's official website after earning $480,000 (ยฃ373,536) as runner-up.

Americans Danielle Kang and Nelly Korda tied for third on 16 under.


Jin Young Ko captures Vare Trophy and Official Money title

Jin Young Ko captured the 2019 Official Money title with $2,773,894, after finishing tied for 11th at the CME Group Tour Championship and earning $59,613.

Ko also won the 2019 Vare Trophy by 0.346 over Hyo Joo Kim, earning her a point toward entrance into the LPGA Tour Hall of Fame. Her final scoring average of 69.052 is the second-lowest Vare Trophy-winning average behind only Annika Sorenstam's 68.697 in in 2002. Sorenstam also returned lower scoring averages in 2004 (68.697) and 2003 (69.0167), but she did not meet the 70-round requirement to qualify for the Vare Trophy.

CME Group Cares Challenge โ€“ Score 1 for St. Jude

The CME Group Cares Challenge is a season-long charitable giving program that turns aces into donations. CME Group donated $20,000 for each hole-in-one made on the LPGA Tour in 2019, with a minimum guaranteed donation of $500,000 to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, which is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

The 2019 LPGA Tour season saw 31 aces from 32 different players, for a total of $620,000 donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. This more than covers the average cost of $425,000 needed to treat a pediatric cancer patient.
