The 2026 Blue Bay LPGA purse is set for $2.6 million, with the winner's share coming in at $390,000 -- the standard 15 percent payout according to the LPGA Tour's prize money distribution chart.
Blue Bay LPGA field is headed by Rio Takeda, Auston Kim, Ayaka Furue, Ruoning Yin and more.
This is the fourth event of the 2026 LPGA Tour schedule, with the LPGA continuing their winter Asian Swing in China. This is a 72-hole event wit a cut to the top 65 and ties after 36 holes. There are 108 players in the field.
The event is played this year at Jian Lake Blue Bay Golf Course on Hainan Island, China.
What else is on the line: Race to the CME Globe points, WWGR points, exemptions
Beyond money, there are important points, perks and benefits on the line for the field -- in particular, the tournament winner.
The winner of this tournament earns 500 Race to the CME Globe points and Rolex Women's World Golf Ranking points.
The top 60 players in the standings at the end of The Annika in November got into the season-ending Blue Bay LPGA. The winner of that tournament wins the Race to the CME Globe and a $4 million first-place prize.
Winning comes with other big benefits, including a two-year exemption on the LPGA Tour, as well berths into other big tournaments.
