The 2026 Maybank Championship is paying out a $3 million purse at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club, with the winner set to collect $450,000 as the LPGA Tour event reaches its final round.
Key takeaways
- The 2026 Maybank Championship carries a $3 million purse, the same total as each of the previous three playings.
- The champion earns $450,000 from that purse.
- Each of the top six finishers takes home more than $100,000.
- Making the cut, projected at 65 players, is worth more than $6,000 before ties are applied.
- The event is the penultimate stop on the LPGA Tour's Asian Swing and feeds into the season-long race for the CME Group Tour Championship.
How much does the Maybank Championship pay out?
This is the fourth playing of the Maybank Championship since it joined the LPGA Tour schedule in 2023, and the purse has held at $3 million every year. The winner's $450,000 share leads the way, and the next five finishers are each guaranteed six figures. Even a player who does no more than survive the cut line is projected to leave Kuala Lumpur with more than $6,000, based on 65 players advancing before ties are factored in.
What's next on the LPGA Tour schedule?
The Maybank Championship is the penultimate event on the LPGA's Asian Swing, and a strong result also carries weight in the season-long race to qualify for the CME Group Tour Championship, the Tour's season finale later this month. Only three more events remain on the 2026 LPGA calendar once play concludes in Kuala Lumpur.
