Miyu Yamashita targets major title at Sony Japan Women's Professional Golf Championship
The Sony Japan Women's Professional Golf Championship, one of Japan's four major women's golf tournaments, is scheduled to take place from September 10 to September 13, 2026, at the Katayamazu Golf Club Hakusan Course in Kaga, Ishikawa Prefecture.
Miyu Yamashita, a prominent player on the US LPGA Tour, will compete in the event, which serves as a homecoming to her mother's birthplace in Ishikawa.

She previously donated 5 million yen to earthquake recovery efforts in 2024.
