The Aramco Korea Championship reached its final round Sunday at New Korea Country Club with a $2 million purse on the line, the same total offered in the PIF Global Series event's first two years on the Ladies European Tour.

Miyu Yamashita held a one-stroke lead over five-time major champion Yani Tseng entering the last 18 holes, chasing a fourth victory of the 2026 season after two LPGA Tour wins and one on the LPGA of Japan Tour. Defending champion Hyo-Joo Kim, who won the tournament's first two editions in 2024 and 2025, started the final round six shots back.

How much does the winner earn?

The champion collects $300,000, matching the winner's share Anna Huang earned at the PIF London Championship after Charley Hull's final-hole collapse handed Huang that title. The remaining $1.7 million is split across the field, with Order of Merit and world ranking points also attached to the result. The Ladies European Tour has not published the exact points on offer, though the inflated purse points toward a larger allocation than a standard tour stop carries.

A win would give Tseng back-to-back titles across two seasons, following her 2025 Wistron Ladies Open victory that ended an 11-year wait for a win.
