The Maybank Championship has only been on the LPGA schedule since 2022, but it sported one of the largest prize money payouts of any event on tour. The overall purse at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club was $3 million, which made it one of just 10 events, excluding majors and the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship, that offer that much or more.
Winner Miyu Yamashita took home $450,000 for her victory. The Women’s British Open champion stormed from eight shots off the lead, shot a final-round 65 to get into a playoff with Hye-Jin Choi and Hannah Green, then won on the first sudden-death hole with a birdie. Yamashita’s bogey-free final round included seven birdies.
World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul tied for fourth place, just one shot out of the playoff.
The LPGA will remain in Asia and now heads to Japan for the final leg of the fall swing before returning to Florida for the final two events of the year, ending in Naples with the CME Group Tour Championship.
