The 2015 CME Group Tour Championship was the fifth CME Group Tour Championship, a women's professional golf tournament and the season-ending event on the U.S.-based LPGA Tour. It was played at the Gold Course of Tiburón Golf Club in Naples, Florida.
The CME Group Tour Championship also marked the end of the season-long "Race to the CME Globe" in 2015. Each player's season-long "Race to the CME Globe" points were "reset" before the tournament based on their position in the points list. "Championship points" were awarded to the top 40 players in the CME Group Tour Championship which were added to their "reset points" to determine the overall winner of the "Race to the CME Globe". The event was televised by Golf Channel Thursday through Saturday on a 2-hour delay, and on ABC Sunday live.
Called the "CME Group Titleholders" for its first three editions, qualification for the tournament changed for 2014. Previously, the top three finishers in each tournament, not previously qualified, earned entry to the tournament. For 2014 the field was determined by a season-long points race, the "Race to the CME Globe". All players making the cut in a tournament earned points, with 500 points going to the winner. The five major championships had a higher points distribution, with 625 points to the winner. Tournaments without a cut awarded points to the top 40 finishers, except for the Lorena Ochoa Invitational, where only the top 20 are awarded points.
Only LPGA members are eligible to earn points. The top 72 players on the "Race to the CME Globe" points list gain entry into the CME Group Tour Championship, as well as any tournament winners, whether or not an LPGA member, not in the top 72.
