2026 Chevron Championship Final Payouts, Prize Money, Winnings for LPGA’s First Major

Major-championship season has arrived on the LPGA Tour, and this week’s Chevron Championship in Houston is offering 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

Mao Saigo won last year at the Chevron after a wild five-woman playoff—the largest ever at an LPGA major—that included Lindy Duncan, Ruoning Yin, Kim Hyo-Joo and Ariya Jutanugarn.

World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul headlines the field, while second-ranked Nelly Korda is the betting favorite. The hottest player on tour so far this year is unquestionably Hannah Green, who has four wins in her last five worldwide events to rocket up to No. 5 in the rankings.

Korda did not disappoint in the opening round, where she shot 65 to grab a two-shot lead.

The Chevron for many years was known as the Dinah Shore, played at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California. Since Amy Alcott in 1988, winners took a running jump into Poppie's Pond just off the 18th green. This year’s first-time host venue, Memorial Park Golf Course, doesn’t have a water feature near 18, but to keep tradition alive it has installed a pool for the winner to leap into following her victory.

Here are the final payouts for the 2026 Chevron Championship. This article will be updated at the conclusion of play on Sunday.
