Miyu Yamashita claimed the 2026 Meijer LPGA Classic title at Blythefield Country Club in Belmont, Mich., defeating Lottie Woad on the first playoff hole. The tournament raised $1.5 million for the Meijer Simply Give hunger relief program, which supports local food pantries across the Midwest.
Community Impact
The Meijer LPGA Classic has now generated nearly $15 million to feed families and support communities in need since its inception. The event featured a field of 144 top female players, with over 1,400 volunteers and record-breaking attendance.
The tournament’s success is driven by the support of the West Michigan community, with Meijer donating $25,000 to a hunger relief organization of Yamashita’s choice as part of a tradition started in 2021.
