In 2011, total prize money on the Futures Tour was $1,765,000.
Leading money winners The top ten money winners at the end of the season gained membership on the LPGA Tour for the 2012 season, with those finishing in the top five positions gaining higher priority for entry into events than those finishing in positions six through ten. Finishers in positions six through ten had the option to attend LPGA Qualifying School to try to improve their membership status for 2012.
