\t\t\t\tThe 2027 LPGA schedule will feature 33 events and a record prize pot. <\/p>\n

Everything about the 2027 LPGA schedule has been thought of very carefully. <\/p>\n

Commissioner Craig Kessler \u2013 pictured above with 2026 LPGA champion Jeeno Thitikul \u2013 has been very keen to ensure that LPGA\u2019s finest are doing as little travel as possible \u2013 and that\u2019s resulted in more than 12,000 miles being shaved off the 2026 schedule<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Included in that plan are the Hawaii swing, which will see the LPGA stars tee up on Kapalua\u2019s famous Plantation course and will bridge a gap between the early-season Asian events to the tournaments on the US west coast. Also in the thought process here is the fact the live coverage from the Hawaii events will immediately follow that of The Players and the Arnold Palmer Invitational and boost ratings. <\/p>\n

\u201cOur schedule impacts every stakeholder, but our athletes remain at the heart of how we build it,\u201d Kessler said in a statement. \u201cOur progress is evident in how our athletes and the entire LPGA ecosystem will move around the world next year, creating more opportunities to rest, recover and ultimately operate more efficiently.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, four tournaments played in 2026 will not be returning: the Kroger Queen City Championship, Aramco Championship, ISPS Handa Women\u2019s Scottish Open and Blue Bay LPGA. And it\u2019s not just LIV Golf being abandoned<\/a> by Saudi Arabia\u2019s Public Investment Fund \u2013 the tournament previously known as the PIF London Championship will return under a to-be-confirmed headline sponsor.<\/p>\n

There will also be a record $147 million up for grabs \u2013 with the prize money purses for the 28 events outside the majors increasing from $82m to $94m on last year. The largest of these is the $5m up for grabs at The Classic in Corning, which returns to the calendar after 18 years away.<\/p>\n

A total of 10 LPGA events will have missed-cut money, while 20 will offer a paid travel expense such as hotel, car, or flight.<\/p>\n
