On Golf Today, Golfweek's Beth Ann Nichols discussed the continued reign of Nelly Korda and what has made her stretch of dominance so impressive on the LPGA Tour.

For the third time in two weeks, a women’s major championship has gotten a financial boost.

The Amundi Evian Champoionship announced a $1.1 million purse increase to $9.1 million in 2026. This comes two days after the AIG Women’s Open said it was moving to $10 million (up $250,000).

The Chevron Championship, ahead of the season’s first major last week, bumped its purse up $1 million to $9 million. And a week prior to that, the JM Eagle LA Championship, a regular LPGA stop, surprised the field with a $1 million increase to $4.75 million.

The tour’s two other majors, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and the U.S. Women’s Open, currently have prize funds of $12 million each.
