The 2026 Ford Championship final leaderboard is headed by winner Hyo Joo Kim, who topped the LPGA Tour leaderboard this week with a win at Whirlwind Golf Club in Phoenix, Arizona.
Kim won this event for her second win in as many weeks, while also successfully defending her title in this tournament, with a two-shot win over last week's foil, Nelly Korda, on 28-under 260.
Korda got to within a shot in the final round, but she could never close to take the lead and win. She finishes runner-up to Kim for a second week running. Kim is the first player in known LPGA history to shoot two rounds of 61 or better in the same tournament, doing so in the first and third rounds.
Minami Katsu finished in solo third place on 23-under total, while Lydia Ko, who opened the tournament with a career-best 60, finished in fourth place on 20-under 268.
Kim won the $337,500 winner's share of the $2,250,000 purse.
