This week on the LPGA TOUR

Aon Insight

The par five 12th hole at Upper Montclair CC saw nearly 60 percent of the field go for the green in two in 2022. For good reason, too: the Aon Insight tells us that players who went for it gained more than seven-tenths of a stroke over those who laid up. About 40% of players who went for it found the putting surface, the second-highest percentage among all par 5s on the Tour last year.

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.
