It was played at the Gold Course of Tiburón Golf Club in Naples, Florida. Lydia Ko won a three-way sudden-death playoff on the fourth hole over co-runner-up Carlota Ciganda; Julieta Granada had been eliminated on the second extra hole. The CME Group Tour Championship also marked the end of the season-long "Race to the CME Globe" in 2014. Each player's season-long "Race to the CME Globe" points were "reset" before the tournament based on their position in the points list. "Championship points" were then awarded to the top 40 players in the CME Group Tour Championship which were added to their "reset points" to determine the overall winner of the "Race to the CME Globe". Third in the standings entering the tournament, Ko won the "Race to the CME Globe" and received a $1 million bonus. Stacy Lewis, the pre-tournament leader, finished second in the race with Michelle Wie third. Format Qualification Called the "CME Group Titleholders" for its first three editions, qualification for the tournament changed for 2014.http://www.lpga.com/golf/news/2014/1/lpga-launches-race-for-the-cme-globe.aspx The Race is On!

For 2014 the field was determined by a season-long points race, the "Race to the CME Globe". All players making the cut in a tournament earned points, with 500 points going to the winner. The five major championships had a higher points distribution, with 625 points to the winner. No-cut tournaments only awarded points to the top 40 finishers (top 20 for the Lorena Ochoa Invitational). Only LPGA members were eligible to earn points. The top 72 players on the "Race to the CME Globe" points list gained entry into the CME Group Titleholders Championship as well as any tournament winners, whether or not an LPGA member, not in the top 72.

The winner of the CME Group Tour Championship received 3,500 points, the second place player 2,400, down to 210 points for the player finishing in 40th place. The effect of the points system is that the top three players in the reset points list prior to the Championship were guaranteed to win the "Race to the CME Globe" by winning the Championship. The top nine in the reset points list had a chance of winning the Race, depending on the performances of other players. In addition to winning the CME Group Tour Championship, Ko also won the "Race to the CME Globe" and received a $1 million bonus. Ko was guaranteed to win the race even before the playoff since the 2,400 points she would have earned for losing in the playoff would have given her a total of 5,900 points, ahead of Stacy Lewis on 5,650. The bonus did not count on the official money list.https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/10261775/lpga-tour-goes-points-race-big-payoff LPGA Tour goes to points race ESPN Associated Press January 8, 2014 January 10, 2014https://www.espn.com/espnw/news-commentary/story/_/id/10262204/espnw-lpga-adds-intrigue-season-long-points-race LPGA adds intrigue with points race Mechelle Voepel ESPNW January 8, 2014 January 10, 2014 Second place earned $150,000 and third place $100,000.http://www.lpga.com/golf/news/cme-group-tour-championship-eligibility.aspx CME Group Tour Championship Eligibility LPGA November 21, 2014 PlacePlayerResetpointsChampionshippointsFinalpoints 1 NZL Lydia Ko 4,000 3,500 7,500 2 USA Stacy Lewis 5,000 650 5,650 3 USA Michelle Wie 3,600 1,500 5,100 4 KOR Inbee Park 4,500 370 4,870 5 KOR Ryu So-yeon 3,200 1,000 4,200 6 CHN Shanshan Feng 2,800 490 3,290 7 PRY Julieta Granada 540 2,400 2,940 8 ESP Carlota Ciganda 50 2,400 2,450 9 KOR Chella Choi 2,000 410 2,410 10 SWE Anna Nordqvist 2,400 0 2,400 References External links http://www.cmegrouptourchampionship.com/ Coverage on LPGA Tour's official site Tiburón Golf Club − official site Category:CME Group Tour Championship Category:Golf tournaments in Florida CME Group Tour Championship CME Group Tour Championship CME Group Tour Championship CME Group Tour Championship
