2026 Meijer LPGA Classic: Yamashita Wins – A Look at the Prize Money
Miyu Yamashita wins in a playoff at the 2026 Meijer LPGA Classic. All 66 players made the cut and received their share of the $3.25 million prize purse.
Miyu Yamashita won the 2026 Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give in a dramatic finish. The 24-year-old Japanese player shot a 64 (8 under Par) on Sunday at Blythefield Country Club in Belmont, Michigan, and forced a playoff after Lottie Woad made a Bogey on the 72nd hole—which she then won with a Birdie on the first extra hole. The tournament’s total prize purse was $3.25 million.
Here you’ll find the final leaderboard for the 2026 Meijer LPGA Classic on the LPGA Tour.
Tournament Recap: Pure Drama on the Final Day
Yamashita started the final day five strokes behind three-round leader Jing Yan. With nine Birdies—including four on the first five holes—she fought her way to the top. Lottie Woad, who had already celebrated her second LPGA title the previous month at the Queen City Championship, seemed to have the tournament in hand: On the 17th hole, the 22-year-old Englishwoman sank a Bunker chip for a Birdie and took a one-stroke lead. But on the 18th hole, Woad three-putted from the front of the green and dropped back to 17 under Par with a Bogey—tied with Yamashita.
In the playoff on the par-5 18th hole, Yamashita hit a precise flop shot to within two feet of the hole. Woad chipped 12 feet past the hole, missed the comeback putt—and Yamashita sank her Birdie putt to win. It was her third LPGA title, following the 2025 Women’s British Open and the 2025 Maybank Championship.
