The 2026 LPGA Tour is set to bring another exciting season of world-class women’s golf, with tournaments spanning the U.S. and international venues. From high-stakes majors to top-paying international events, the season promises thrilling competition and unforgettable moments.
In this article, we’ve put together the complete LPGA Tour Schedule 2026, including dates, venues, prize money, and key events, so you can follow all the action and stay up to date with the season’s must-watch tournaments.
What is LPGA Tour and How it Works?
The LPGA Tour is the top professional golf tour for women, featuring the best players from around the world. Every year, players compete in a series of tournaments for prize money, points, and the chance to win major championships.
Most tournaments are played in stroke play format, where players compete over 72 holes (four rounds), and the player with the lowest total score wins. After the first two rounds, a cut is made, which means only the top players continue to the weekend rounds. This makes the competition more intense and exciting.
Players earn points and prize money based on their performance in each event. The better they play, the more points they collect, which helps them qualify for major tournaments and season-ending events like the CME Group Tour Championship.
Furthermore, the major tournaments carry higher prize money and more points, making them the most important events of the season. The LPGA Tour also includes some international events and unofficial tournaments, giving players the chance to compete on different courses around the world.
In short, the LPGA Tour is not just about winning individual tournaments, but a full season-long competition where players aim for consistency, high rankings, and a spot among the world’s top women golfers.
