Major-championship season has arrived on the LPGA Tour, and this week’s Chevron Championship in Houston offered a $9 million purse, with $1.375 million to the winner.
It’s a $1 million bump in total prize money from the 2025 Chevron, continuing the trend of prize-money growth in pro golf. Here are the LPGA current purses for each of its five majors:
| Major | Total Purse |

| Chevron Championship | $9 million |
| U.S. Women’s Open | $12 million |
| KPMG Women’s PGA Championship | $12 million |
| Amundi Evian Championship | $8 million |
| AIG Women’s Open | $9.75 million |
Nelly Korda is taking home the big check after winning the Chevron for the second time, dominating the week with a five-shot win. She now owns three major titles and 17 LPGA wins overall. She also has five top-two finishes in a row this season.
