2024 AIG Women's Open Prize Money Breakdown

The emotions came pouring out of Lydia Ko as soon as her final putt dropped. After everything she's been through, to win the Open at the Home of Golf was just too much to take in.

As the tears flowed freely, she was overwhelmed thinking about all those who've supported her over the years. From family and friends back home in New Zealand, to her coach who told her will get this on the 1st tee this morning.

Of course, winning is special anywhere. But doing it around the ancient links of the Old Course at St. Andrews, where legends are born, made it an out-of-body experience. As the claret jug was placed in her hands, she swore she could feel the ghosts of champions past giving her a pat on the back.

The $1.425 million prize was nice, but truthfully meaningless at that moment. Money can't buy memories like she now holds forever. She'll treasure this day until her final days, the day her dream came exquisitely true at the home of golf.

Lilia Vu, Ruoning Yin, Nelly Korda and Jiyai Shin were thrilled for her. They hugged and celebrated like old friends, as buoyant crowds cheered Lydia's fairytale script coming to perfect life.

As she waved goodbye to St Andrews, the tears were happy ones. Lydia had done it - she owned a major at the Old Course, solidifying her name among the greats of the game. A day she will relive again and again, without a doubt, for the rest of her days.
