The FM Championship returns to TPC Boston with a loaded LPGA field, $4.4 million purse and marquee groups featuring Korda, Ko, Hull and Thitikul.
The FM Championship at TPC Boston has quickly become one of the LPGA Tour’s most important late-season stops, and the 2026 field backs that up.
All 10 of the top players in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings are set to compete in Massachusetts, with 144 players chasing a $4.4 million purse and a $660,000 winner’s check. For a tournament entering only its third year, that’s a serious statement.
And the featured groups are stacked.
One of the most intriguing pairings sends Lottie Woad, Jeeno Thitikul and Charley Hull out together. Thitikul arrives in excellent form after winning the Standard Portland Classic for her third victory of the season. She’s also shown she loves TPC Boston, finishing fourth in 2024 and runner-up in 2025.
Hull, meanwhile, comes in with momentum after a second-place finish on the Ladies European Tour and a tie for sixth at the AIG Women’s Open.
Another group to watch features Brooke Henderson, Auston Kim and Haeran Ryu.
Ryu may be the headline name there after winning back-to-back majors in 2026. She also has history at TPC Boston, having won this event in 2024. Henderson enters off a tie for 13th at the CPKC Women’s Open, while Kim returns after a break and recently secured a spot on her first U.S. Solheim Cup team.
Then there’s Nelly Korda.
Korda will play alongside Aki Iwai and Ruoning Yin as she looks to rebound from a tie for 23rd in Canada, her lowest finish of the season. Yin comes in on much stronger footing after collecting her sixth top-10 finish of 2026 last week.
The veteran-heavy group of Anna Nordqvist, Lydia Ko and Lauren Coughlin adds even more depth. Ko makes her FM Championship debut, while Nordqvist balances tournament play with her responsibilities as Europe’s Solheim Cup captain.
With major champions, world No. 1 contenders and Solheim Cup storylines all converging at TPC Boston, the FM Championship has become far more than just another stop on the calendar.
It now feels like one of the LPGA Tour’s true showcase events.
Golf Channel will carry coverage Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to noon ET, Saturday from 3-7 p.m. and Sunday from 1:30-4 p.m.
