2025 Amundi Evian Championship prize money payouts for each player in France
When it comes to money talk in France, the buzz around the 2025 Amundi Evian Championship was how much a player didn't make. Amateur Lottie Woad finished in a share of third at the year's fourth major championship but didn't collect the six-figure paycheck. That's on top of the nearly $79,000 winner's check she didn't receive after winning the LET's KPMG Women's Irish Open last week. Instead, Minjee Lee took $523,761 for her share of third. Grace Kim took home $1.2 million for her extraordinary playoff victory over Jeeno Thitikul that included an eagle-birdie-finish. While it was a tough final round for England's Cara Gainer, the T-14 finish still gave the LET player a rare six-figure check of $112,525. Players who made the trip to France but missed the cut still earned $3,000 to help cover expenses. 2025 Amundi Evian Championship prize money payouts

Grace Kim wins playoff over Jeeno Thitikul in thrilling finish at Amundi Evian Championship
Grace Kim and Jeeno Thitikul trade off putts during the fourth round of the 2025 Amundi Evian Championship. After Thitikul misses a putt, Kim clinches an eagle to send the championship into a playoff between the golfers. EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France — Grace Kim delivered one stunning shot after another Sunday in the Evian Championship, starting with an eagle to force a playoff and another eagle to beat Jeeno Thitikul on the second extra hole to make her first LPGA win a major title. Kim, whose 2-foot eagle putt on the par-5 18th in regulation gave her a 4-under 67, looked to be just as surprised as everyone else when she rolled in a 12-foot eagle putt to win the playoff. The 24-year-old Australian calmly placed her hand over her mouth and stood still before doubling over and breaking into a wide smile. Thitikul's biggest challenge had been English amateur Lottie Woad, who was coming off a win in the Irish Women's Open and at one point had the lead on the back nine of Evian Resort. She closed with 64 and then waited to see if that would be enough. Woad was bidding to become the first amateur to win a major since Catherine Lacoste at the 1967 U.S. Women's Open. Thitikul birdied the 17th to take the lead, and the Thai player was on the verge of her first major when she laid up short of the pond and hit wedge into 8 feet on the final hole. But there was Kim, blasting a fairway metal onto the green. The ball rolled back down the slope to 2 feet for eagle to tie for the lead. Thitikul's birdie putt for the title missed right. She shot 67 and joined Kim at 14-under 270, one ahead of Woad and Minjee Lee (68). Back to the 18th in the playoff, Thitikul again looked like a winner when Kim's second shot bounced on a cart path, over some rocks and into the pond. Thitikul was just left of the green in two. Kim took her penalty drop, then chipped in for birdie across the green. Grace Kim and Jeeno Thitikul traded birdies in WILD fashion on the 73rd hole. 🔥😳 Thitikul had to make an 8-foot birdie putt to extend the playoff, which she did. Playing the 18th for the third time, Kim again delivered another beauty over the pond and onto the green to about 12 feet. Thitikul, who had tiny insects buzzing around her ball in the collar of a bunker, chipped weakly to about 6 feet. She could only watch as Kim ended it with an eagle. That extended what already is a record streak in the LPGA Tour's 75-year history, the 18th consecutive tournament to start a season with a different winner. It also makes 13 different winners in the last 13 majors. Kim won for the second time on the LPGA, adding to her title in Hawaii two years ago.
