The purse for the 2022 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship will be $9 million, double that of last year’s purse. This year’s tournament will take place Thursday through Sunday at Congressional Country Club.

The winner of the tournament will take home $1.35 million, as announced by the PGA of America, KPMG and the LPGA Tour on Tuesday.

It’s an increase from the $4.5 million that was awarded last year. Since 2014, the purse for the major has risen 300 percent from $2.25 million. It’s the second-oldest major in women’s gold, having begun in 1955.

“When the PGA of America partnered with KPMG and the LPGA Tour in 2015, we promised to elevate this event by increasing the purse, conducting it at venues with a history of hosting men’s major championships such as Congressional Country Club, and delivering broadcast network coverage with NBC Sports,” said Jim Richerson, President of the PGA of America. “As part of our shared commitment to support and showcase women’s golf, we have delivered on those promises.”

Paul Knopp, chair and CEO of KPMG, said that the championship helps to accelerate, advance, develop and empower women “both on and off the golf course.”

The increased purse marks yet another win for LPGA Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan. In May, the LPGA announced that the purse for the Evian Championship — which takes place in July — would increase to $6.5 million.

Since Marcoux Samaan was named commissioner last year, the LPGA Tour’s prize fund has now exceeded $94 million, which will set a tour record up from last year’s $85.7 million.

The U.S. Women’s Open, which was won by Minjee Lee, had its purse doubled this year to $10 million. This year’s AIG Women’s British Open will hand out a total of $6.8 million while the winner of the CME Group Tour Championship will earn a $2 million check — the largest ever handed out in women’s golf.

“Doubling the purse from $4.5 million to $9 million is another example of KPMG and the PGA of America’s dogged commitment to the LPGA and our athletes,” said Marcoux Samaan. “We could not be more grateful for their steadfast leadership in growing the women’s game and providing our athletes and future athletes with opportunities commensurate with their world-class talent.

“This is a very big day for the LPGA, for women’s golf and for women’s sports and we look forward to working with KPMG and the PGA of America to continue to use our platform to empower young women and inspire positive change in the world.”

Gotham FC's 2026 dance card is filling up fast, with the Bats booking both the Concacah Champions Cup and FIFA Women's Champions Cup semis while also preparing for the 2025 NWSL Playoffs next month.

As the reigning Concacaf W Champions Cup winners, FIFA announced Saturday that Gotham will take on the just-qualified Brazilian side Corinthians at next year's first-ever Champions Cup.

The FIFA announcement comes just weeks after Gotham again punched their ticket to the Concacaf W Champions Cup semis, advancing through the 2025/26 competition to set up a semifinals rematch against Liga MX Femenil's Club América next May.

In response to the growing demand for international women's club competitions, the FIFA Women's Champions Cup will serve as a preview for the expanded Women's Club World Cup in 2028.

Gotham's side of the FIFA Champions Cup bracket sees the North and South American champions facing off for a Club World Cup ticket, with UEFA Champions League winners Arsenal battling either China's Wuhan Jiangda — winners of the AFC Women's Champions League — or the as-yet-undetermined winners of Africa's CAF Women's Champions League in the second semifinal.

Taking place in London, the Champions Cup semifinals will kick off on January 28th, before the third-place match and final takes the pitch on February 1st.

The increasingly crowded schedule reflects the Bats' continued success, as international competitions challenge Gotham to stay focused on their NWSL postseason campaign.

Angel City bid farewell to two NWSL legends on Sunday, sending club mainstays Christen Press and Ali Riley off into retirement in style following the LA team's final home game of 2025.

"This sport has grown and blossomed in my 14 years as a professional," Press told the 19,000-strong crowd during the post-match retirement celebration. "This community and club marks all of the work my teammates and I did over a decade to fight for equity, progress, and opportunity for the next generation."

"It's always been about the people to me, and you made it worth it to come back to say goodbye," outgoing ACFC captain Riley told her teammates. "As I look around, this is truly a city of angels."

Both Southern California products and international football icons signed with their hometown expansion side prior to Angel City's 2022 debut, going on to face similar injury struggles in recent years.

"With my injury, I had accepted that it was probably the end of my career, that I would finish my days as a soccer player in the gym alone," Riley said after taking the pitch for the last time, referencing the nerve condition that sidelined her for much of 2024 and 2025. "I'm going to sleep in my boots. I can't believe I got on the field."

"It was a really long journey," Press said. "Thank you for making me feel like the most loved player in the whole world."

Now eliminated from playoff contention, Riley and Press will suit up one more time in their pro soccer careers, taking the pitch for Angel City's November 2nd regular-season finale against the hosting Chicago Stars.

The AP Women's College Basketball Poll turns 50 next year, and the publication began celebrating its rankings run a few months early by asking 13 former players and AP sportswriters to fill an All-Time team roster with the NCAA's best.

First Team honors went to USC legend Cheryl Miller, UConn greats Breanna Stewart and Diana Taurasi, all-time leading NCAA scorer and Iowa alum Caitlin Clark, and position-defining Tennessee forward Candace Parker.

Standout Huskies Sue Bird and Maya Moore also snagged AP All-Time nods, earning Second Team spots alongside Virginia star guard Dawn Staley, Tennessee forward and three-time national champion Chamique Holdsclaw, and three-time AIAW champion and MVP Lusia Harris from Delta State.

Even the AP list's reserves are full of legends, with basketball pioneers like Kansas star Lynette Woodard and UCLA's Ann Meyers Drysdale joining Lisa Leslie (USC) and Sheryl Swoopes (Texas Tech) as well as current WNBA superstars A'ja Wilson (South Carolina) and Brittney Griner (Baylor) on the All-Time bench.

"Being named an AP All-American is one of the most storied honors in college sports," Clark said in response to her AP All-Time First Team nod. "It's fun to think about what it would have been like if we all played together."

"What an accomplishment and what an honor," said fellow First Team honoree Taurasi. "There's so many great women who paved the way."

With the October 31st WNBA CBA deadline looming, ESPN recently conducted an anonymous survey of team owners, executives, players, and other insiders about the simmering tensions between athletes and league leadership in the wake of Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier's viral exit interview last month.

"Once you have that kind of fighting with your best players, it's a death spiral," a team executive told ESPN after fans booed commissioner Cathy Engelbert at this year's WNBA Finals.

"Change is a must," another exec said in the anonymous WNBA survey. "Either Cathy has to change how she relates to the players, or there has to be a change in that role."

That said, not everyone agreed, with one owner saying, "If you fire her now, it's admitting weakness. It's a terrible look for the league. I can't stand what [Collier] did. That was a private conversation. It makes me not want to fire [Engelbert] — even though I think she should be."

CBA negotiations have also remained frosty this month, with Las Vegas Aces star guard Chelsea Gray telling ESPN that the talks are "not where we thought and wanted to be at this point in time. It's market share, it's salaries, it's player safety, it's everything."

With the parties still reportedly far from a deal, the threat of a work stoppage next season hangs over the stalled proceedings.

"I don't think it's going to be done by Halloween," a league source told ESPN. "[But] in the end, a work stoppage doesn't benefit anybody."
