Prize purses on the LPGA Tour are growing, creating more opportunities for players to earn a solid paycheck. While the average tour pro may still struggle to break even each week, and there’s progress to be made toward greater parity in the game, the biggest events now offer significant earning potential.
In 2026, LPGA golfers will compete for more than $132 million, the highest prize fund in LPGA Tour history. Non-Major purses total over $82 million for the 2026 season. So far, 12 tournaments have announced elevated purses and more than 15 events are expected to have a minimum payout to all players competing in the field.
