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 highly anticipated 2026 season schedule marks another milestone year for one of the world’s premier women’s sports organizations. The upcoming season reflects continued global expansion, increased prize money, and a strengthened commitment to showcasing the extraordinary talent of professional women golfers around the world.
The 2026 LPGA Tour schedule features a robust lineup of tournaments across North America, Asia, Europe, and Australia, highlighting the LPGA’s international reach. Players will compete in a full season of championship events, including all five majors: The Chevron Championship, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, the U.S. Women’s Open, the Amundi Evian Championship, and the AIG Women’s Open. Several longstanding tournaments return with elevated purses, and new global partners have joined the schedule, underscoring the LPGA’s growing commercial appeal.
Key storylines for 2026 include increased investment in women’s golf, expanded broadcast coverage, and rising participation from emerging young stars. The season is expected to deliver fierce competition as veterans, rookies, and international standouts aim for major titles, Player of the Year honors, and coveted spots in the CME Group Tour Championship.
The release of the 2026 schedule also highlights how far the LPGA has come since its founding. Established in 1950 by 13 pioneering women—including legends like Babe Didrikson Zaharias, Patty Berg, Marilynn Smith, and Louise Suggs—the LPGA began as a small but determined effort to create professional opportunities for women in golf. At a time when women athletes faced significant barriers, the founders organized tournaments, marketed their own events, and built a professional structure that would eventually transform women’s golf.
Over the decades, the LPGA has evolved into a global powerhouse. The Tour now features players from more than 40 countries, some of the largest purses in women’s sports, and a loyal worldwide fan base. Its developmental circuits, including the Epson Tour and LPGA*USGA Girls Golf, continue to nurture the next generation of talent.
The 2026 schedule reflects the LPGA’s growth from its modest beginnings into a truly international, commercially strong, and socially impactful organization. As the new season approaches, fans can look forward to exceptional competition, inspiring athletic performances, and another exciting chapter in the LPGA’s remarkable history.
