The 2026 Meijer LPGA Classic purse is set for $3.25 million, with the winner's share coming in at $487,500 -- the standard 15 percent payout according to the LPGA Tour's prize money distribution chart.
The Meijer LPGA Classic field is headed by Jeeno Thitikul, Hannah Green, Minjee Lee and more.
This is the 15th event of the 2026 LPGA Tour schedule, with the LPGA having their second Michigan event. This is a 72-hole event wit a cut to the top 65 and ties after 36 holes. There are 144 players in the field.
The event is played this year at Blytheville Country Club in Belmont, Michigan.
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 two-year exemption on the LPGA Tour, as well berths into other big tournaments.
