Epson America extends LPGA qualifying tour title sponsorship through 2029

Epson America has extended its title sponsorship of the LPGA's qualifying tour through 2029, according to Golfweek.

The United States-based printing and imaging equipment company first became the tour's title sponsor in 2022. In addition to the three-year extension, the winner's share of the Epson Tour Championship has increased to $100,000 (€86,000), marking a new milestone for the tour.

Anne Chen earned $37,500 (€32,250) last year for clinching the season-ending title.

Craig Kessler, LPGA commissioner, said Epson's continued commitment represents a powerful investment in opportunity. "This extension reflects a shared belief in the importance of a strong, clear pathway to the LPGA – and in supporting athletes at a pivotal stage in their careers," he stated.

Kessler said the enhancements to the Epson Tour Championship are meaningful and intentional, rewarding performance while providing greater financial security. Over the past 10 years, the tour has grown from 15 events with $1.6 million (€1.38 million) in prize money to $5 million (€4.3 million) awarded across 20 events in 2025.

The season-ending Tour Championship will include a 72-hole no-cut format and be limited to the top 80 players on the Epson Tour Race for the Card standings. The total purse will be $250,000 (€215,000) in 2026, increasing to $350,000 (€301,000) over the next three years.

Keith Kratzberg, president and chief executive at Epson America, said the company is proud to renew its partnership with the LPGA.

The 2026 Epson Tour season begins 5 March in Florida with the Atlantic Beach Classic.
