The 2026 Mizuho Americas Open purse is set for $3.25 million, with the winner's share coming in at $487,000 -- the standard 15 percent payout according to the LPGA Tour's prize money distribution chart.

The Mizuho Americas Open field is headed by Charley Hull, Michelle Wie West, Jeeno Thitikul and more.

This is the 11th event of the 2026 LPGA Tour schedule, with the LPGA having their Mexico event. This is a 72-hole event wit a cut to the top 50 and ties after 36 holes. There are 120 players in the field. The top 65 pros and ties through two rounds, though, do earn prize money this week.

The event is played this year at Mountain Ridge Country Club in West Caldwell, New Jersey.

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 CME Group Tour Championship. 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 five-year exemption on the LPGA Tour, as well berths into other big tournaments.
