2026 Epson Tour schedule: Tournaments, dates, purses and venues



The 2026 Epson Tour schedule has been announced, with record prize money for the 19-event docket that means better playing opportunities across the board.

This season is the tour's 46th, with prize money totaling $4.7 million and two new tournaments on the schedule.

“We’re excited to announce the 2026 schedule, which brings new and elevated opportunities for our athletes,” said Jody Brothers, Chief Business and Operating Officer of the Epson Tour.

“Next season, we’ll expand into new markets and welcome back familiar events, with some being played on exciting new courses. These refinements are designed to create a more efficient, thoughtful travel flow for our athletes as they compete for their spot on the LPGA Tour.”

The 2026 Epson Tour schedule features the biggest purse in tour history, with the Carlisle Arizona Women’s Golf Classic continuing to offer a $400,000 purse for their April 30 - May 3 event in Arizona.

New events

The Epson Tour has two new events in 2026. The Orlando Health Championship will mark the third final tournament of the opening stretch of events contested in Florida, playing in Lakeland at Grasslands Golf & Country Club for a $250,000 prize pool.

The second new event, the Smoky Mountain Championship presented by Food City, will take place in Alcoa, Tenn., at Green Meadow Country Club from Aug. 6-8, marking the Tour’s first appearance in the area since the Chattanooga FUTURES Classic in 1991. The tournament has a $250,000 purse.

The Central Florida Championship in Winter Haven is exiting the schedule for 2026, as is the Otter Creek Championship, with the host course undergoing a renovation, and the Casella Golf Championship in New Jersey.
