LPGA’s ’27 slate features higher purses, better travel efficiency

The LPGA Tour has released its 2027 schedule, featuring 33 tournaments and a record $147 million in total prize money. Commissioner Craig Kessler noted that the new itinerary was designed to optimize travel routing, elevate course quality, and improve player recovery. The schedule connects a February Asia swing directly to events in Hawaii and the West Coast before heading into major championship season.

Key additions include the Nanea Cup in Hawaii and an event in Hong Kong, while the Hanwha International Crown returns at San Francisco's Lake Merced. Royal St. George's will host the AIG Women's British Open for the first time, joining Inverness Club and Congressional Country Club as rotating major championship host venues.
