Changes for 2026

The Australian swing was extended to four events with the inclusion of the Women's Australian Open, last featured on the schedule in 2016. [1] [2] [3] [4]

The PIF Global Series discontinued the team element, and the tournament in the United States saw its purse doubled to $4m and co-sanctioned by the LPGA Tour. [5]

The events in Tenerife and Sweden left the schedule, and were replaced by a returning Ladies Italian Open, and a tournament in Mauritius, a country included on the schedule for the first time. [6]

In April, it was announced that Lacoste Ladies Open de France and Jabra Ladies Open would be merged into a single event, the Jabra Ladies Open de France held at Evian Resort Golf Club. [7]

Total purse surpassed €40m for the first time. [8] The 2026 membership consists of 340 active players representing 47 nationalities from six continents, with countries such as Brazil, Slovakia, the Philippines and Malaysia returning to the roster after a hiatus. [9]
