The 2026 Chevron Championship featured a $9 million purse, up from $7.9 million from a year ago. Since Chevron took over title sponsorship in 2022, the purse has increased by $5.9 million.
Nelly Korda's dominant victory at Memorial Park earned her a $1.35 million payday, up from $1.2 million from a year ago. She becomes the first American player since Meg Mallon in 2000 to win three career majors.
Korda moved to sixth on the all-time money list, passing Inbee Park and Jeeno Thitikul. Players who missed the cut this week received $10,000. There were five amateurs who made the cut, but none can accept prize money.
