In 2025, Japan\u2019s Miyu Yamashita won the Maybank Championship in a playoff with a four-round total of 18-under 270. This year, the 25-year-old is already at 18 under through 54 holes at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club in Malaysia, holding a two-shot edge over Yan Liu and Pauline Roussin-Bouchard as she aims to win her third LPGA title of the 2026 season and her fifth in 14 months.<\/p>\n
Yamashita\u2019s ball-striking has been impressive in her title defense. During Saturday\u2019s third round, she hit 13 of 14 fairways and 15 of 18 greens as she posted a third straight score in the 60s. That said, she\u2019s coming into the tournament with momentum having finished inside the top-10 in four straight starts. That leaves her with 12 top-10s to date in 2025 as she is putting together the best LPGA season of her young career.<\/p>\n
If Yamashita holds on to win, she\u2019ll claim a $450,000 first-place prize money payout from an overall purse of $3 million.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the prize money payouts for every golfer in the 78-player, no cut event. Come back on Sunday after the final round to see individual names and paydays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In 2025, Japan\u2019s Miyu Yamashita won the Maybank Championship in a playoff with a four-round total of 18-under…","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22499,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_volume":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[11352,111,1164,10270,578,2717,55,575,2716,132,1090,335],"class_list":["post-22498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-heres-the-prize-money-payout-for-each-golfer-at-the-2026-lpga-maybank-championship","tag-lpga","tag-lpga-tour","tag-maybank-championship","tag-money","tag-money-earned","tag-news","tag-prize-money","tag-prize-money-payout","tag-story","tag-woman","tag-women","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/vive.im\/@fogolf\/117538715305983402","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22498"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22498\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22499"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
