Grant Thornton Invitational Final Payouts, Purse, Prize Money: Lydia Ko and Jason Day Share $1 Million /

Sixteen two-person teams were in the field this week in Naples, Fla., for the inaugural Grant Thornton Invitational. One PGA Tour player and one LPGA player comprised each team—10 of this year's PGA Tour winners and nine winners on the LPGA Tour. The total purse is $4 million, with $1 million set for the winning duo.

Lydia Ko and Jason Day are sharing that prize, shooting 26 under for the three days. Ko had an off year on the LPGA Tour, missing the CME Group Tour Championship, but this may be a launch into a better 2024.
