The final Major of the year is in the home stretch and in just a few hours’ time we will know who has been crowned the AIG Women’s Open champion at Royal Lytham & St Annes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With one round to play, Yealimi Noh had opened up a three-shot lead as 18 holes stood between her and her maiden Major title.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was far from done and dusted, though, with five players, Esther Henseleit, Jeeno Thitikul, Haeran Ryu, Lucy Li and Shiho Kuwaki, all in pursuit.<\/p>\n

The prize for coming out on top is even more impressive than last year (and the year before that) as The R&A confirmed back in April the overall prize money payout was being increased for a sixth consecutive occasion.<\/p>\n

There is a total of $10 million on the line this week, which is identical to the PGA Tour’s Rocket Classic that concludes later today.<\/p>\n

While the winner of the men’s event earns $1.8 million, the AIG Women’s Open champion will claim $1.5 million – the highest figure in the championship’s 50-year history.<\/p>\n

For comparison, a year ago, Miyu Yamashita won $1,462,500 for her victory, although she was one of the big names to miss the cut<\/a> this year.<\/p>\n

The runner-up is set to collect almost $1 million, but they (and everyone else in the field) will face similar costs to The Open Championship contenders, who saw their actual take-home pay<\/a> greatly reduced due to various factors.<\/p>\n

Those who finish inside the top 25 will likely pick up an initial check for more than $100,000.<\/p>\n

Anyone who made the cut this weekend will be paid at least $11,000, while even those who missed the cut on Friday will earn $4,250.<\/p>\n

Below is the maximum prize money payout for each position at the 2026 AIG Women’s Open before ties are taken into account.<\/p>\n
