LPGA releases 2027 schedule, which cuts down 12,000 travel miles

The LPGA has unveiled its 2027 tournament calendar, featuring a significant reduction of 12,000 miles in travel requirements to support athlete well-being. Commissioner Craig Kessler oversaw the changes, which include 33 events and a total prize pool exceeding $147 million, with non-major purses rising by nearly $12 million.

Four previous tournaments have been removed to make room for upgraded events, while the season will begin in Orlando at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions. The tour also plans to utilize Hawaii for a new swing between Asian events, with competition held at Nanea and Kapalua.

Additionally, the JM Eagle LA Championship is scheduled to return to the Wilshire Country Club following course renovations.
