Is the LPGA the richer tour or does the JLPGA have a larger total purse?

It appears that the LPGA total purse is just north of $40 M and the Japan tour is around $30 M.

This was obtained with minimal research so I won't be surprised if someone has more accurate numbers.
 
See thread on Big Break Atlantis and the thread on Symetra tour... In both the $$ on women's tour have been discussed just this week.

Somebody page Awsi... He'll know :)

LOL. Thanks spazzdog but I'm out of ammo on this one. I follow the JLPGA occasionally but don't know much about the prize money, before or after the translation into dollars. I gather it must be sufficient because many highly rated players choose to stay there.

There's a prominent LPGA blogger named The Constructivist who covers JLPGA events on a blog called Mostly Harmless.
