What a difference TV money makes… PS it looks like the USGA Women’s Senior Open had a prize fund of around $900,000 for the May 2019 event. ---

I suspect their sponsors (American Express, Deloitte, Cisco, Lexus and Rolex) have kicked in a few pennies as well. ---

Looking at the 2017 Senior Open, there were 104 “real” entries (players that started early in the event and played multiple rounds) and there was one late “house man” after a withdrawal to get to 105. In the 2019 Senior Open, there were 104 real entries, and (to make a long story short) essentially 3 late entry “housemen” situations. So I think it’s reasonable to call this one a tie.
