Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Answered yes

  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan

Answered no

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement
  • 5a · Pay contingent on this organization's revenues
  • 5b · Pay contingent on a related organization's revenues
  • 6a · Pay contingent on this organization's net earnings
  • 6b · Pay contingent on a related organization's net earnings
  • 7 · Other non-fixed payments
  • 8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 3
COMPENSATION OF THE FOUNDATION'S PRESIDENT IS DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES OF THE LADIES PROFESSIONAL GOLF ASSOCIATION, A RELATED ORGANIZATION. LPGA USED THE FOLLOWING METHODS TO ESTABLISH COMPENSATION: - COMPENSATION COMMITTEE - INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT - COMPENSATION SURVEY OR STUDY - APPROVAL BY THE BOARD OR COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
PART I, LINE 4B
LADIES PROFESSIONAL GOLF ASSOCIATION MAINTAINS A SUPPLEMENTAL NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN. THE LPGA TOURNAMENT PLAYER RETIREMENT PLAN WAS ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE THE ELIGIBLE MEMBERS OF THE TOURNAMENT DIVISION WITH POTENTIAL RETIREMENT BENEFITS. EVERY MEMBER OF THE LPGA TOURNAMENT DIVISION WHO COMPETES IN THE "MINIMUM NUMBER" OF OFFICIAL LPGA TOURNAMENTS ANNUALLY IS ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PLAN. AMOUNTS ALLOCATED TO MEMBERS ARE BASED UPON A FORMULA DETERMINED ANNUALLY BY THE BOARD WITH SUCH FORMULA CONSIDERING SUCH FACTORS AS THE NUMBER OF TOURNAMENTS IN WHICH A MEMBER COMPETES, THE AMOUNT OF PRIZE MONEY WON, THE NUMBER OF YEARS A MEMBER HAS PLAYED AND ANY DIRECT SERVICE TO THE ASSOCIATION. DURING 2023, CHEYENNE WOODS WAS A PARTICIPANT IN THE PLAN; HOWEVER, NO AMOUNT WAS ALLOCATED TO HER.
