LPGA Tour All-Time Money List
These are the all-time leaders in earnings on the LPGA Tour, the tour's career money list.
An LPGA golfer who is in the Top 40 on the all-time money list can use, if she needs to, a one-time exemption in order to retain her tour membership for another year. For example, if Golfer X has a poor year and finishes too low on the yearly money list to keep her card, but is No. 37 on the career money list, she can invoke that exemption and retain her full playing privileges. That exemption can only be used once, however.
