The USGA has significantly raised the profile of its flagship championship for women in key ways in recent years. First, by securing a title sponsor for the event (Ally), American golf's foremost organization has locked in a sizable financial boost for the championship for years to come, starting with the 2022 edition's purse jumping from $5.5 million to $10 million. The 2025 U.S. Women's Open purse was $12 million; the 2026 purse will be announced during the tournament.
The USGA has also 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 mix well with established past U.S. Women's Open sites Pine Needles (2022) and Lancaster Country Club (2024).
