Ryann O'Toole earned a $1 million payout for winning the Aon Risk Reward Challenge, finishing the season with an 11th-place ranking in par-5 scoring.

Ryann O'Toole secured a $1 million bonus on Monday for winning the Aon Risk Reward Challenge, a season-long LPGA program tracking the best average score on designated holes. The 39-year-old veteran clinched the title with two tournaments remaining in the challenge, as no other player can mathematically overtake her lead. O'Toole concluded her competitive season at the FM Championship in August to prepare for the birth of her first child in January.

The victory follows a significant statistical jump for the golfer, who improved her par-5 scoring rank from 125th in 2025 to 11th this year. This performance was supported by a career-best driving distance average of 270.6 yards. The $1 million prize exceeds her most lucrative individual season in 2024, during which she earned just over $629,000.

O'Toole, who has one career LPGA victory, has amassed $4,706,355 in total earnings over a 15-year professional career. LPGA Commissioner Craig Kessler noted that the achievement occurred while O'Toole played a limited schedule and supported her brother’s recovery from a severe accident. Aon CEO of North America Anne Corona confirmed the award, extending well wishes to O'Toole and her partner, Gina, ahead of their new arrival.
