On Wednesday, the LPGA announced the full schedule for the 2026 season, which, thanks to a new partnership also announced this week, will see every round of every tournament broadcast live in the United States for the first time.
New LPGA commissioner Craig Kessler has hit the ground running in his attempt to elevate the tour and women’s golf. The 2026 schedule will see players compete for a record $132 million across 33 events, with $82 million coming at non-major events.
The U.S. Women’s Open, which will be at the iconic Riviera Country Club, and the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, which will be at Hazeltine, continue to lead the way with each having a $12 million purse. The FM Championship at TPC Boston ($4.4 million) and the newly announced Aramco Championship at Shadow Creek ($4 million) have the biggest non-major, non-CME Group purses on the slate.

The major schedule will start at the Chevron Championship in late April. The year’s first major has been held at The Club at Carlton Woods, but it will reportedly move to Memorial Park Golf Course, where the PGA Tour hosts the Texas Children’s Houston Open in March. The site for the Chevron Championship is listed as “TBD” on the LPGA’s official schedule. The LPGA will head to Riviera for the U.S. Women’s Open at the beginning of June and then to Hazeltine for the KPMG Women’s PGA at the end of the month. The Evian will once again be hosted at Evian Resort Golf Club in France in early July, and the major schedule will conclude with the AIG Women’s Open at Royal Lytham and St. Annes.
After tour stops in Portland, Canada and Boston, the schedule will head to the Netherlands for the 2026 Solheim Cup at Bernardus Golf.
All rounds will air on Golf Channel, with select weekend rounds airing on CNBC.
