Leading money winners

Normally, the top ten money winners at the end of the season would have gained fully exempt cards on the LPGA Tour for the 2021 season. [3] However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, only the top five will gain cards. Those players will also receive entry in the 2020 U.S. Women's Open. [4]
