LPGA Tour 2026 8 2026-04-19 2026-04-19 https://r2.thesportsdb.com/images/media/event/thumb/1c99yj1765286062.jpg https://r2.thesportsdb.com/images/media/event/poster/4hisa81765286049.jpg The tournament reaches its climax at the El Caballero Country Club, where the final 18 holes will determine who claims one of the largest purses on the LPGA Tour. The primary challenge of the championship Sunday layout is the combination of tucked pin positions and the relentless afternoon winds of the San Fernando Valley, which can make the already narrow fairways feel microscopic. The objective for the overnight leaders is to maintain composure under the intense pressure of a $3.75 million prize pool, where even a single wayward shot on the technical back nine can lead to a massive swing in the standings. Strategically, the goal for the final pairings is to navigate the "Amen Corner" of El Caballero—the difficult stretch of par-4s starting at the 10th hole—while protecting their lead. The tactical focus for the chasers is to capitalize on the two reachable par-5s on the front nine to create early momentum. With the greens expected to be at their firmest and fastest, the ultimate goal is to manage leave-angles precisely, ensuring uphill putts on the undulating surfaces to avoid the dreaded three-putt that often haunts those in contention on Sunday afternoon. 2466386
