The 2026 US Senior Women's Open purse is set for $1 million, with the winner's share coming in $200,000 -- the standard 20 percent payout according to the USGA's prize money distribution chart for open championships.
The US Senior Women's Open field is headed by Maria McBride, Annika Sorenstam, Juli Inkster, Catriona Matthew and Karrie Webb. Players must be at least 50 years old to compete.
A cut is made to the top 50 players and ties from the 132-player field. Each of professionals missing the cut is paid $2,000 by the USGA, which presents this championship.
The event is played this year at Barton Hills Country Club in Ann Arbor, Mich.
