Aloha also means hello: LPGA and PGA Tour Champions both have two events in Hawaii

Hawaii’s golf calendar is expanding with two major professional tours set to host multiple events on the islands. The PGA Tour Champions will feature back-to-back tournaments in March, starting with the Mitsubishi Electric Championship on the Big Island, followed by the Sony Championship at Waialae.

Meanwhile, the LPGA Tour is reviving its presence at Kapalua on Maui’s Plantation course, where the Lotte Championship will relocate from Oahu’s Hoakalei in October to March 18–21. The Plantation course, a historic PGA Tour venue since 1999, has hosted legendary moments, including Tiger Woods’ 2000 playoff win over Ernie Els and Hideki Matsuyama’s record-breaking 35-under performance in 2025.

The LPGA also announced the Nanea Cup, a concurrent event on the Big Island in late March, featuring 95 LPGA Tour players alongside 25 collegiate competitors. The timing aligns with humpback whale migrations, adding a natural spectacle to the island’s golfing tradition.

Allisen Corpuz, the 2023 U.S. Women’s Open champion and Hawaii native, praised Kapalua’s ability to showcase the islands’ unique beauty through golf.

Off the course, the indoor golf league TGL at SoFi Center in South Florida welcomed two high-profile additions to its Motor City Golf Club expansion team. Brooks Koepka, a five-time major champion, joined earlier this year, and Jackson Koivun—who led Auburn to the NCAA title, won his first PGA Tour event in his third start, and went unbeaten in the Presidents Cup—was announced this week.

The league also extended its U.S. media rights with ESPN, solidifying its broadcast partnership.

Separately, the Korn Ferry Tour concluded its season with its championship, where Blades Brown, a high school-turned-pro golfer, secured a spot on the PGA Tour for 2027 after finishing 14th in the standings.
