2020 CME Group Tour Championship

Since 2014, the field has determined by a season-long points race, the "Race to the CME Globe". All players making the cut in a tournament earned points, with 500 points going to the winner. The five major championships had a higher points distribution, with 625 points to the winner. No-cut tournaments only awarded points to the top 40 finishers. Only LPGA members are eligible to earn points. From 2014 to 2018, the top 72 players on the points list and any tournament winners, whether or not a member, earned entry into the championship. The points were reset for the championship and the points leader after the championship won a $1 million bonus. Only the top-12 players entering the tournament has a mathematical chance of winning the bonus.

After the field in 2019 was 60 players, the field expanded to 72 players in 2020 (the top 70 from the "Race to the CME Globe" points list and 2 sponsor's exemptions) and the purse dropped to $3 million. The bonus is now rolled into the purse so that the winner of the tournament wins $1.1 million. All 72 players compete for the top prize.[2][3][4]
