Athletes to compete for the largest prize fund in Tour’s history

NAPLES, Fla. (Nov. 19, 2025) – After a historic 75th anniversary season, the LPGA Tour announces the 2026 schedule featuring 33 events and a total prize fund of over $132 million. The world’s best female golfers will once again compete for the largest prize fund in the Tour’s history. The upcoming year will notably see the Solheim Cup in the Netherlands as well as new events, new venues and increased purses.

“I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built, and even more excited about where we’re headed,” said Craig Kessler, LPGA commissioner. “This schedule reflects the work we’ve put into elevating our courses, improving our routing, and continuing to grow purses. Coming off our 75th anniversary season, we wanted a calendar that gives our athletes great stages, better flow, and even more opportunity – and I think 2026 delivers that. We’ve made real progress, and we’re clear-eyed about where we can keep getting better in 2027 and beyond.”

Every LPGA Tour event and every round will be presented live across the country for the first time since Golf Channel began televising the LPGA Tour in its inaugural year of 1995, with select weekend rounds airing live on CNBC. Yesterday, the LPGA made announcements of a multi-year partnership with U-NEXT, and a multi-year agreement between FM and the LPGA to transform the television footprint of the Tour’s North American events with added enhancements from Golf Channel and Trackman.

In 2026, the LPGA Tour will travel to 13 different countries and regions and 13 states across the United States. There will be two multi-event swings in Asia – the first in the spring to Thailand, Singapore and the People’s Republic of China and the second in the fall to People’s Republic of China, the Republic of Korea, Malaysia and Japan. One European swing will take place in the middle of the year, including two major championships and the ISPS Handa Women’s Scottish Open, before the LPGA Tour returns to Europe for the Solheim Cup in September. Similar to last season, there will also be North American stops in Mexico and Canada.

The 2026 major championship season will kick off in April at The Chevron Championship before the LPGA Tour will travel to Pacific Palisades, Calif., to play Riviera Country Club for the 81st U.S. Women’s Open presented by Ally. At the end of June, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship will be held at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minn., where LPGA Tour player Hannah Green claimed her first major championship victory six years ago. Next, the LPGA Tour will head overseas for The Amundi Evian Championship, taking place once again at Evian Resort Golf Club in Evian-les-Bains, France. The last major championship will be the AIG Women’s Open, to be held at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club in Lytham St Annes in England, where Georgia Hall won in 2018 to become the fourth English winner of the AIG Women’s Open.

The 20th edition of the biennial Solheim Cup will bring teams of Europeans and Americans to Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands from Sept. 11-13. Three-time major champion and nine-time Solheim Cup veteran Anna Nordqvist will lead the European Solheim Cup Team while seven-time LPGA Tour winner and six-time Solheim Cup veteran Angela Stanford will captain the U.S. Solheim Cup Team. The competition is returning to Europe for the first time since 2023 when the Europeans retained the Cup after a record-setting 14-14 tie in Spain. The Americans will arrive in Europe as the defending champions following their victory at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in 2024.

Athletes will compete for the highest prize fund in LPGA Tour history at more than $132 million. Non-major purses will total over $82 million for the 2026 season, with the FM Championship and the Aramco Championship at Shadow Creek leading as the highest non-major, non-CME Group Tour Championship purses. With more increases expected in the future, 12 events have announced elevated purses, more than 15 events are expected to have a minimum payout to all athletes competing in the field and nearly 20 tournaments will offer an enhanced player experience with benefits of a hotel, flight and/or transportation.
