2027 LPGA Tour Schedule Features Travel Adjustments, Record Prize Money

When Craig Kessler was named the 10th commissioner in LPGA history in the summer of 2025, he said he intended to go about, “redefining what’s possible.” The 2027 LPGA Tour schedule, released earlier this week, is an example of exactly that.

The schedule features 33 tournaments held in 11 countries, Hong Kong and 13 U.S. states and a record $147 million in prize money. It also built an itinerary meant to ease travel concerns for players.

The season-opening Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions will take place in the first week of February before the Tour embarks on its first of two Asian swings on the season, with stops in Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong (a new event, the Futu Ladies World Championship) before returning to the U.S. with consecutive events in Hawaii, one in Arizona and two in California. All of that leads directly into the season’s first major, The Chevron Championship at Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston, Texas, from April 22-25.

The other four majors take place during a seven-week stretch at midseason, starting with the U.S. Women’s Open the first weekend in June at Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio. That’s followed by the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship (Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland, June 24-27) that includes a season-high $13 million prize purse; The Amundi Evian Championship the following week that kicks off the Tour’s European swing; and the AIG Women’s British Open at Royal St. George’s in Sandwich, England that concludes on August 1. That will mark the first time the women’s Championship will be held at the course that has hosted the men’s version 15 times.

The second Asian leg starts in October and includes events in South Korea, China, Malaysia and Japan before the season concludes with three events in Florida.

This year’s schedule included only one swing through Asia. Two players each won two majors: Nelly Korda of the U.S. won The Chevron Championship and the U.S. Women’s Open, while Haeran Ryu of South Korea won the Women’s PGA Championship and the Evian Championship in consecutive weeks. Japan’s Shiho Kuwaki won the season’s final major, the British Open.

“Our schedule impacts every stakeholder, but our athletes remain at the heart of how we build it. Our 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,” said Kessler. “The venues we play at matter, and we’re adding even more courses that fans will love and recognize. Our players have earned the chance to compete on these stages, and we encourage fans to tune in to watch them do it. The prize fund reflects the incredible collaboration and support of our partners, who keep recognizing the value of our players. We know our players and fans care about all three of these things, and we can’t wait to keep making even more progress in the years ahead.”

The majority of this year’s tournaments will include enhanced perks such as hotels, flights or other transportation for players.
