The Buick LPGA Shanghai will move to Sheshan Golf Club for its 2026 edition and will feature a record $3.2 million purse, the largest for a women’s golf event in Asia. It also frames the tournament as a major step for the region’s women’s game and a stronger showcase for elite international competition.

The event is scheduled for October 15 to 18, 2026, and the new purse pushes the tournament to the top tier of prize money in the area. The move to Sheshan is presented as an upgrade in venue and profile, with the event continuing to be part of the LPGA’s Asian swing.

More broadly, this emphasizes growth: more money, a new setting, and a higher status for the tournament within women’s golf in Asia. It also highlights that the Shanghai stop remains an important destination on the LPGA calendar. LPGA
