I found some information about Georgia

https://georgiatoday.ge/10934-2/

25000 GEL was the prize fund for women (not sure if for 2021) that is 8834.92 dollars

I could find that there was a championship also not for women but I could not find the prize money

There is no Men's tournament there is an open that anyone can enter if they are strong enough and there is a tournament just for women.

Correct but in most cases women do not win prizes in open championship even when they participate because even when they are strong enough to participate they are not strong enough to win prizes.
