The 2026 FM Championship prize money payout is from the $4.4 million purse, with the 66 professional players who complete four rounds at TPC Boston in Norton, Massachusetts, earning LPGA Tour prize money and an official-money paycheck this week.

The winner's share of FM Championship prize pool is at $660,000, with the second-place finisher taking home $413,841. The FM Championship prize money payout breakdown shows a payout of 15 percent of the purse to the winner, and how much each LPGA Tour player earns is guaranteed down to the last-place professional player.

The FM Championship field is headed by Ruoning Yin, Sei Young Kim, Hyo Joo Kim and more.

This tournament started with 144 players, and a cut was made this week after two rounds to the top 65 and ties. Every professional player who made completes the 72-hole tournament earns official money.

Every professional player in the field is paid for completing the event, but how much each player is paid at the 2026 FM Championship from the correct 2026 FM Championship full-field payout is based on their finish. One amateur made the cut and won't be paid for their finish.

The LPGA Tour cut rule is typically down to the top 65 and ties, with no secondary cut. When more than 65 professional players make the cut, the payout is modified to ensure all players are paid, with the winner always getting 15 percent of the purse.

What else is on the line

Beyond money, there are important points, perks and benefits on the line for the field -- in particular, the tournament winner.

The winner of this event will earn 500 Race to the CME Globe points, with this being a standard event.

Additionally, there are Rolex Women's World Golf Ranking points on the line for the winner.

While this event offers a significant payday, a win comes with the benefits that come with winning on the LPGA Tour. Winners of these events get a two-plus season exemption on the LPGA Tour.
