This week on the LPGA TOUR
Aon Insight
The 14th at Blythefield Country Club is a significant back nine birdie opportunity, especially for players who are accurate with their tee shot. In 2022, players were five times more likely to go for this green in two after finding the fairway with their drive. Missing the fairway cost players more than half a stroke in both rounds 1 and 3 last year. Two teeing areas are expected to be in play in 2023 – when the shorter tee box is in use, the field is expected to go for the green at an 84 percent clip.
At the end of the regular season, the most consistent player across each tour, with the lowest average score under par, on the Aon Risk Reward challenge holes captures the $1 million prize.
Aon is committed to a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture where everyone can thrive, ensuring delivery of the best innovative solutions for clients. As such, providing equal prize money to both the PGA and LPGA Tours aligns with Aon’s core values and brand.
