The USGA has significantly raised the profile of its flagship championship for women in key ways in recent years. First, by securing a long-term title sponsor for the event in ProMedica, American golf's foremost organization locked in a sizable financial boost for the championship, with the 2022 edition's own purse jumping from $5.5 million to $10 million after the sponsorship was announced. Further increases in the coming years seek to push the purse to $12 million.
Second, the USGA has made a conscious effort to further increase the quality of U.S. Women's Open host venues, in large part by bringing future championships to courses that have held the U.S. Open in the past (and will in the future as well). For example, Pebble Beach hosted in 2023 and Erin Hills in 2025, followed by iconic venues like Riviera (2026), Oakmont (2028, 2038) and Merion (2034, 2046). These storied venues will mix well with established past U.S. Women's Open sites Pine Needles (2022) and Lancaster Country Club (2024).
