===LPGA Playoffs===
Since [[2006 LPGA Tour|2006]], the LPGA has played a season-ending championship tournament. Through the 2008 season, it was known as the [[ADT Championship|LPGA Playoffs at The ADT]]; in [[2009 LPGA Tour|2009]] and [[2010 LPGA Tour|2010]], it was known as the [[LPGA Tour Championship]]. In [[2011 LPGA Tour|2011]], the event became the [[CME Group Tour Championship|CME Group Titleholders]], held in November; since 2014, it has been known as the CME Group Tour Championship, and that name is used {{As of|2024|lc=y}}.

From 2006 through 2008 the LPGA schedule was divided into two halves, with 15 players from each half qualifying for the Championship based on their performance. Two wild-card selections were also included for a final field of 21 players. The winner of the LPGA Tour Championship, which features three days of "playoffs" plus the final championship round, earns $1&nbsp;million.

In 2009, the Tour Championship field was increased to 120 players, with entry open to all Tour members in the top 120 on the money list as of three weeks prior to the start of the tournament. The total purse was $1.5&nbsp;million with $225,000 going to the winner.

The [[CME Group Titleholders]], which resurrects the name of a former LPGA major championship (the [[Titleholders Championship]]), was first played in 2011. From 2011 to 2013, its field was made up of three qualifiers from each official tour event during the season, specifically the top three finishers not previously qualified.

After 2014, the field is determined by a season-long points race, the Race to the CME Globe.<ref>{{cite news |date=January 8, 2014 |title=LPGA Tour goes to points race |url=https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/10261775/lpga-tour-goes-points-race-big-payoff |access-date=January 10, 2014 |work=ESPN |agency=Associated Press}}</ref> Points conferred to players on tour depend on whether the tournament is major or not, and placement. From 2014 to 2018, the top 72 players in the Race to the CME Globe competed in the CME Group Tour Championship, with the top 12 players mathematically eligible to win a $1 million bonus in 2017 and 2018. Past Race to the CME Globe champions include Lydia Ko (2014, 2015), Ariya Jutanugarn (2016, 2018) and [[Lexi Thompson]] (2017).
